It's not really similar to methamphetamine.

Surprisingly, the standalone apk version is able to self-update and will remind you to do so.

Well said, comrade! Even if I don't think it'll help this person understand...

The same could be said to defend Reddits moderation culture. Not saying I have a better idea or anything.

Yeah, but if you think Reddit moderators are bad, wait til you find out about the opinionated gatekeeping mess of censorship and harmful idealism that is the Wikipedia moderation.

Literally the first sentence of your wikipedia article explains that these are different ideologies trying to achieve the same thing, a communist society.

You seem like you're suffering from a bad case of Dunning-Kruger. You've been explained very basic terms multiple times, but you keep repeating your completely wrong understanding undeterred, with brazen authority.

It makes you someone who doesn't understand what those terms mean, so a modern liberal.

Look: you can either own means of production and be part of the ruling class, or you can not own any and be forced to sell your labor for the rest of your life. A social welfare state is something that purposely built by the ruling class to further their interests, with some concessions to past union efforts.

That's not what socialism is, trust me, I live in a country with one of the oldest and strongest Social Democratic impact in the world, and while the effects of that are still nice today they do not change anything about the fact that a huge majority works to enrich a tiny minority, and Social Democrats like you have never seriously put an effort into changing that, historically.

So you're a Social Democrat, got it. Those are pretty out of fashion over here and gave up pretending wanting to achieve Socialism long ago. Sorry, but I don't really think that what you're talking about is Socialism, it's liberal reformism.

Yes, they may be state-owned, but you still live in a bourgeois state with capitalist ownership structure, so the state doesn't act in the workers interest, but to uphold the capitalist order.

By the way, would you mind telling me what country that is? Most EU countries with strong state-owned infrastructure that I'm aware of have been forced to liberalize, so for example in my country lots of former state enterprises are now private profit-bound businesses that are just 100% owned by the state.

I don't think you understand what an economic class is. A new class does not emerge because one person is more productive for society than another. It's a question of what your relation to the means of production is, and in a communist, classless society there would be no inequality there.

Could you provide a few alternate definitions of Communism? Sounds interesting.
