      It proves that disparity is rising in Capitalist Social Democracies, like I said. Simple.

      Companies like regulations that help them make profits, yes. No need to sling insults.

      I’m not paying to read a source that you refuse to actually reference in any meaningful capacity outside of an appeal to authority, when I already know what Marx, Engels, Lenin, Kropotkin, Bakunin, Luxembourg, and so forth are talking about when they speak of and define Socialism, not the revisionist Capitalism that is Social Democracy.

      Why is it “red-scare” logic when it’s written by Marx and all Marxists to come after him? That’s just Marxist logic!

      2 people can trade things and it need not be Capitalism, you can have 2 worker co-operatives trade commodities and it’s Market Socialism. Simple.

      No need to throw slurs at me, but it’s fitting for a right-winger to turn to those when they fail to use logic.

      Edit: Credit where credit is due, you did in fact change from using a slur to using a more tame insult once I called you out, so at least you’ve got that going for you.

        Man,

        You are amazing. I wouln’t have had the patience to have that conversation.

        Thank you for explaining people… well… Reality.

        Just a bit of an off topic point:

        I belive the use of “socialism” that the other comenter has is am apropiation or integration of socialisim into the kyriarchy. Defusing and making solcialism anti-revolutionary, taking away what it makes it dangerous and leaving a shell of it self.

        Socialism is not anymore the controll of the means of production by the workers (simplify definition) but capitalism where they controlling group give you a bit of assurance and you have to thank them for it.

          Thanks! I just take combating bourgeois nonsense seriously when I see it.

          You’re correct, by adopting good, common sense social safety nets as “socialism,” Socialism becomes defanged. “We already have Socialism, why do you want any more?” Can become a cry against the Proletariat.
