    You are correct that social safety nets are distinct from worker owned production. But those are still both socialism.

    All in all I’m not a fan of people like you trying to compress a dense complicated history of a varied and interesting school of political thought into something the width of a tweet just because you want to create your personal True Scotsman and die valiantly the hill of semantics.

    Chances were always good we weren’t going to get along.

      They are not still both Socialism, that’s why Social Democracies are Social Democracies and not Socialist Democracies.

      It’s not semantics, I’m just really not a fan of people that are so confidently wrong.

      Yea, I don’t think I’d get along with someone who is adamant about redefining words just to fit a bourgeois narrative, and take away from Proletarian struggles.

        Ah yes, of course I am simply a nasty bourgeois sympathizer who is oppressing you in your virtuous struggle. Whee.
