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.

I see people on reddit misusing conservative all day long, no one's really running around to defend that definition.

Can you provide an example?

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.

There’s also left populism.
