You redefined the word socialism to suit your interests. That's exactly what Ingsoc (meaning "English Socialism") does in 1984. They amputate and mutilate the language to serve their needs. 1984 was a dystopia. It was meant to serve as a warning, you're not supposed to copy it!

Dude. I am warning people that the Wikipedia definition of the word IS newspeak. It is false. I'm not changing anything, I'm speaking of the TRUE meaning of the word, not this invented orwellian crap.

You got this thing completely reversed. You got 1984'ed.

Just because Wikipedia says something doesn't make it false. It IS the definition of socialism. When you have your own carefully tailored definition that nobody else uses...you think maybe you're in the wrong here?

So the actual definition of the word "socialism" is known worldwide by many peoples in many languages, and in English by anyone who has received schooling in economics before the millenium.

This is the correct and accepted definition of socialism: https://philosophyterms.com/socialism/

However, many online dictionaries as well as shillypedia have started peddling the notion that it means "the state taking ownership of the means of economic production". Which, if you know anything, is totalitarian communism and not socialism at all. Right? OK let's continue...

Here's the shittypedia page with the false and wrong definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

Randomly, the first site that popped up for me in my search engine, which happens to have the same wrong definition: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/socialism?s=t

But lastly and most importantly, a google auto-translation of the French Wikipedia page on socialism, into English: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Ffr.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSocialisme

Now it seems obvious to me that (((somebody))) is trying to change the accepted meaning of the term in order to further (((their))) agenda.

I believe the target of this psyop is the USA. Radicalizing US citizens against "socialism" by its false definition seems to be in (((their))) interest.

But either way it's a glaring example of widespread, and DEEP Orwellian disinformation TODAY.

Let's talk.

Cool story bro. Must be nice to make up your own facts.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

What do you mean. This is 100% factual. Did you even bother to read. :-(

I know it's a hard pill to swallow when you've been lied to about something as fundamental as language. But you're better off knowing than being ignorant of it, don't you think?

[–]black_hole_son 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I disagree with the "facts" as you see them.

I've had this "that's not real socialism!" argument so many times I can't even

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Dude. The communists. THEY are the ones saying "we are the REAL socialists" and you believe them. COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA. Are you proud of it? Being fooled by commies?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Socialism is basically "a set of regulations in a capitalist economy to prevent its excesses" such as billionaires getting ever richer off the backs of ordinary workers.

It goes COUNTER to wealth redistribution and it NEEDS a capitalist economy to even EXIST.

Can your tiny mind process even such basic information well enough to realize that socialism is almost perfectly opposed to communism?

OK boomer.

Uh, is that supposed to be an ad hominem?

To me, you are only displaying learning disabilities, having maxed out on your ability to learn new insults in the second grade.

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I know you want an argument, but I'm just not interested.

Maybe you can find someone else to get indignant over?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

No, I want to EDUCATE. But you're just not interested in learning it seems.
