These westerners are social democrats which is not hard to understand, it's wiki entry away.

It’s infuriating considering that it’s in the first goddamn sentence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.

If those libs could read they’d be very upset.

Words mean what they're used to mean. Even the word "government" is wildly different between Europe and the US. We flip out over headlines like the government of Belgium has collapsed! and it's only as much of a kerfuffle as the House trying to elect a Speaker.

If ever there was a real world example of Newspeak, it is how—thanks to class war and three red scares—the working class no longer even has a word for socialism. So now welfare capitalists like Bernie Sanders call themselves socialist despite never calling for the abolition of the private ownership of the means of production. It’s an amazing achievement of the capitalist class’ propaganda machine.

... And? A lot of socialists are also libertarian in equal measure.

Is it so much to ask that workers councils be in charge instead of some revolutionary

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

The history of socialist movements shows that it is. Rosa Luxemburg was right over a hundred years ago.

"Those countries reflect poorly on socialism."

"How dare you, they're not really socialist."
