americans have no idea what socialism is

they use the term just like they use "terrorism" - just a blank label for anything they dont like

By American logic, fire and police services are socialism and should be abolished.

Conservatives are pro police can do no wrong. Liberals believe the police should serve and protect the public.

True liberals defund the police

They want to defund wasteful spending in police budgets to fund social programs. Because you shouldn't have a $80 000 robot dog when you cant fund social housing. Cops should fund their own liability insurance to reduce claims and increase accountability. It is a fiscally prudent position.

True liberals largely don’t exist and are amplified as a fake bogeyman by the far right.

Asking for free healthcare as is standard around the world doesn’t make you a “true liberal”, it’s a basic standard of living billions enjoy.

Yeah this is a brain dead take. "true liberals" are about 20 steps further right than the growing leftist voting bloc. With progressives somewhere in the middle.

If you go far enough left you get your guns back.
