@Nonya_Bidniss Also, I think that's kind of why it was designed the way it was. It equates the word socialism with totalitarian, nationalist governments using the word while diminishing the successful applications of socialism in Europe and elsewhere.
Just an aside: I'm glad we can have this conversation here!

@Nonya_Bidniss Yep, definitely... My unsubstantiated theory is that it's trying to scare people away from the Democratic Socialists and from social support programs, in the spirit of that messaging.l, while being vague enough to get circulated in progressive circles.

@Nonya_Bidniss You might want to reconsider reposting this... It's factually wrong and at least partly AI generated. I suspect it's copypasta from one of the misinformation groups that tries to create conflict where there really isn't any. Seems to have originated on Facebook where such stuff is rife.
