Canadian gov wants to make conspiracy theories illegal with ability to throw them in prison! "This is not a question of freedom of speech. This is a question of people who are actually actively working to spread disinformation, whether it's through troll bot farms, whether [it's] state operators..."

Exactly. So few people understand these CRITICALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES.

Capitalism is indissociable from Socialism, while Communism lies completely at the other end of the political/economic spectrum from the capitalism/socialism end.

Communism is always extremely authoritarian, whereas capitalism/socialism usually has been much less authoritarian.

But we are seeing a huge rise in authoritarianism. It's not good at all.

Socialist countries are typically authoritarian. Capitalist... not so much.

Socialist countries are ALWAYS capitalist. Capitalist countries are ALWAYS socialist­. They go together. You can literally NEVER have one without the other. Well I guess you could but then it wouldn't be a country, or a nation. It would be just some strange Mad Max post-apocalyptic world.

Communist countries are always authoritarian, yes. But the commies got to your mind, co-opting the term "socialism" to THEIR uses, installing the virus of communist thought in there long ago, turning you into an unwilling, unconscious but very real advocate of their shit.

Absurd

Only absurd because you've been brainwashed with a false definition of the word "socialism" that conflates it with communism, when in fact it stands in direct opposition to it.

Case in point, why did the national SOCIALISTS of Germany perform their only aggressive war against the COMMUNISTS? Isn't that strange?

It's springtime. You need to nestle down outside on some green grass and read a little WW2 history.

Well, when I'll be asked for proof, I'll prove it. And then you guys will all pretend like this conversation never took place. Brainwashing is that strong.

I've done the same thing at various places and that's what always happens. Proof provided, deafening silence ensues, and everyone runs away trying and succeeding at avoiding thinking about how their view of the world has been utterly tampered with.
