@skepticscott12@mike_smoli56473@ClayTravis All socialists are communists at heart’ is just a stereotype.
Using Lenin to define modern socialism is like using Adam Smith to define all capitalism today.
And ‘no bio, no picture’ is ad hominem. Personal attacks aren’t an argument.
@Boston_George@composter108@ClayTravis There’s no historical rule that socialism ‘turns into communism.’ That’s a theory, not an outcome. And capitalism has plenty of cases where it’s produced authoritarian outcomes too, systems don’t have built-in destinies.
@RosaP_LA@DSA_Watch Yes, Medicare exists, but it only covers seniors and some disabled people. ‘Medicare for All’ means expanding that idea to everyone, not what we currently have.
@TheeRespecter@ClayTravis That’s not affirming the consequent.
You’re treating “supports unions/healthcare” as exclusive to communism when it isn’t. Shared policies don’t define an ideology. That’s just basic set logic, not a syllogism error.
@Izengabe_ This is a pretty common internet distortion pattern: taking “supports lab-grown/alternative protein options” and inflating it into “wants to ban meat,” which isn’t accurate.
