Fuck communism. Socialism is fine. You don’t need the government owning every single business and paying people out income equalization and food vouchers. Put the power back in the people’s hands.

*Sigh, do people even Google nowadays? Even Google gets this one right and attributes it to marx
It might be the smallest detail here, but I don’t think any communist or socialist ever claimed it was reasonable of feasible that the government should own or run every singe business. It’s indeed a confused statement, but it does point to how hard it is to discuss socialism or communism in a world that is so full of the american run western propaganda.
It’s literally just “Socialism is when the government does stuff, and when the government does all the stuff, that’s communism.” Just the most generic “I don’t know what this is” take imaginable.
Ah yes because in Amerikkka it’s the masses who hold the power 🙄
Many seem to still hold this view
They are definitely working with the “socialism is when norway” model of socialism as opposed to any of the AES states.
Clearly. Someone asks them if the people who extract all Europe’s resources while living in extreme poverty and threats of violence have the “power in their hands”
