Word definitions are important: they allow communication. Also, communication is the nature of the activity that visiting this website represents. Why are we here, if not to communicate?

Moreover, if somebody has spent huge time and effort to surrepticiously change the meaning of some words, isn't it worthwhile to look into that? Why are they doing this? Have you read 1984 by George Orwell? That book illustrates perfectly how changing language changes thought processes.

But lastly and most importantly, quoting deluded, lying scumbag commies as any kind of source of information seems like a thoroughly losing proposition. Of course Marx and Lenin would lie to further their sick agenda. They got 60 million killed, what's a lie?

Which is why I don't like people equating "Socialism" with western democracies that have social programs.

Because Lenin used the word "Socialism" to describe his horror when the word had never meant anything close to being related to what he perpetrated on the people of Russia? That makes the word a dirty one, and justifies lobotomizing your ability to think the full spectrum of socioeconomic thought? You don't see how much of a communist puppet that makes you?

Even shittypedia has a section on pre-Marx socialists you imbecile.

Also, since you seem to care, tell me where you see Marx in the definition: https://philosophyterms.com/socialism

In short, Marxist-Leninists co-opted the term "socialist" because this latter term represents a noble and humane notion, and like everything else they did, they perverted good things, turning them to shit. It's what Jews do.

You still use the Orwellian Newspeak definition, do you? I've had enough of you fucking commies.

6 types of socialism. Which type are you? How is anyone supposed to know? So dump the shit word and come up with something for each if you have to.

I am not any type. I am denouncing a psy op to brainwash people into equating socialism with marxist-leninist communism, thus preventing them from thinking the whole spectrum of socioeconomic thought. Can't you see how important that is?

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

I get it but you can't achieve SOCIALISM without deaths - by design. Call me when you have a political/economic theory that doesn't have a death requirement. Oh yeah, we already do - it's called LIBERALISM.

Also, those are different IDEAS of WAYS to implement SOCIALISM. Its definition remains unchanged. Some ideas are worse than others, obviously.
