Lol no you really donāt. You arenāt basing that off of anything. You have no explanation whatsoever why you think that quote doesnāt apply to you.I understand plenty....A fuckton more than you.....That's beyond certain.And whatās your excuse? Itās not like you have any formal understanding of economics - not even close.View attachment 388368Lol right you quote the definition without your own interpretation. And yeah, it is the second half because you chose ignore it. You still havenāt explained what it means. What does social ownership mean? Go ahead. Iāll wait.Why is it that you think you understand what socialism means if youāre too much of a disingenuous pussy to include the full definition? Tell me what is it that you think the second half of the definition means even though you pretend it doesnāt exist? The defense budget is owned by the people who FUND it. That is an example of socialism.No you idiot. The military is funded by tax payers. Thereās the other half of the definition of socialism that you all PATHETICALLY and intentionally leave out which is ā...distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.ā Be an adult.Lol youāre so dense. The US has been socialist since the beginning. Our defense budget is the biggest socialist institution in the world.Actually every government around the world is socialist to some extent. Socialism isnāt the antithesis of capitalism. That doesnāt mean they are the same thing. Iām sorry you are not smart enough to understand that.Right while you forget the success of Western Europe, Japan, and South Korea. Of course youāre also too stupid to know that the US has been ALWAYS been socialist. Why? Because every government on earth is a form of socialism. Your dumbass thinks socialism is the antithesis of capitalism when it really isnāt, but that is because youāre too stupid to understand any sort of nuance."Cherry pick Venezuela"....Itās a massive oversimplification to suggest the concept of socialism is the reason why it is a failed state. It is a failed state because it has a poor government. You canāt cherry pick Venezuela and pretend it is some broad reflection of socialism itself.
You shameless genocide apologetic.
How about we add Vietnam, North Korea, China, Soviet, East Germany, Biafra, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Cambodia, Ethiopia and Romania to the list?. The list goes on and on and the result has always been the same - poverty, starvation, misery and genocide.
No, because you are wrong on all of that. South Korea is Socialist? What does that make North Korea? Idiotic.
This is the intellectual twisted knots you left-wingers have to do, in order to justify your idiocy. You have to call everything that is capitalist, socialist, and call everything socialist.... somehow isn't.
Of course it is. Iām sorry you are not smart enough to understand that.
The military is a means of production? Really? So those privates with their M16s and grenades, are really factory workers cranking out.... what cars? Or something? What product can I go to the store and buy from the US military, since they are a means of production in your brain dead world?
Idiot.
So you can quote it, and not even understand what you yourself just quoted?
Production or distribution and exchange......
Do tell, you bumbling fool.... what are they distributing to society? Last time I saw the military unload goods at the store was .... when? Exchange? Yeah, I don't see military exchange points along the road anywhere, in town, or out of town.
There is no "second half". It is all part of one single definition.

noun
noun: socialism
a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Production.... distrobution... exchange..... should be.... blaw blaw blaw.
The US military is a defense force. It is not a means of productions, a means of distribution, or a means of exchange.
If they were a means of production, distribution, or exchange..... they wouldn't be hiring outside contractors constantly to build, make and transport stuff, you mindless idiot.
Thomas Sowell is right. Arguing with smart people is easy. It's arguing with fools, that you have to spoon feed every single point to, that is hard.
It doesnāt matter what the military DOES. The DEFENSE BUDGET is funded and therefore owned by the community as a whole.
No he does. You haven't said anything intelligent in about 4 pages of posts now.
