It makes perfect sense if you understand how nuance works. But I think there is where the problem lies- YOUR confusion stems from your inability to understand it.

It makes perfect sense if you understand how nuance works.

Saying "if you do too much socialism, it's communism" is exactly the opposite of a nuanced understanding. Please read a pamphlet.

They’re not wrong. And I’m not going to apologize for not feeling like explaining it to you, but I’ll advise that you start by learning what nuance actually means.

This is one of the most inane threads I've ever seen on Lemmy. Nuance is having a fine understanding of a topic, while the line I'm quoting is taking a complicated topic and boiling it down to a truism. It's the most obvious and classic form of anti-intellectualism and it certainly does not reflect a nuanced understanding of socialism or communism.
