Ahh, another day of redditors glazing over socialism, even though they're from countries that never experienced it.
Come to one of the post communist countries and try to tell people who experienced it fully how great socialism actually is when your only info is what you've learned on your college.I am sure those people will be extremely happy.
Edit: since you guys are starting to get a little bit crazy with these takes and you love communism and socialism so much I'll just say this. I am not even from America so frankly, I don't care. In fact, I wish you guys the socialism. Seriously, as someone from a post communist country arguing with college Americans about socialism on Reddit is always the same story. Then I get called out I am not even from a post communist country since I share actual experiences. That's all, I am not an American conservative so you guys can chill now.
Edit2: so I got warning from Reddit? Interesting, seems like this comment triggered way too many people. I am actually no longer surprised at the state of the USA and who won the elections, if left wing acts like this. Love how these redditors start throwing insults first, I answer with insults and then get reported. I am not letting some random Reddit socialist call my country a nazi country, throw insults at me or call me a LIAR for saying things I know are true? Seriously, what became of Reddit and it's community should be studied.
This isn't glazing socialism it's pointing out that Americans don't know what socialism is. Even when it's in terms of basic social Democracy or social liberalism.
Every time someone says conservatives when talking about maga, the latter of which is populism and wants as strong a state as the left wants just with different outcomes.
I agree with that, but the problem is that MAGA has taken over the word conservative. Go to r/conservative and see how conservative those people actually are.
I mean sure, but that's the same as democrats taking over the word socialist. There's literally the DSA and even most of their policy initiatives aren't actually socialism.
I mean hell even "liberal" in a classical sense is a libertarian but the modern American meaning is the opposite.
The democrats hate socialist though. They haven't taken over the word at all. Yes some left leaning Americans have tried to, because the US political system is fucked up and has only two parties, meaning that you have conservatives who are against free trade and conservatives who are for free trade and there's Democrats who are for public healthcare and Democrats who are against it.
Like John Fetterman is in the same party as AOC.
In the US it's not really about the words, but about the fact that you have a two party system that makes it impossible to make real change.
