Something tells me Karl Marx wouldn't like these things either.

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.
Man im pretty socialist who lives in ex east germany with my parents actually being parz of that time and i gotta tell you, with what i hear from them, it was horrible
Ah right, we are in the meme community. Carry on.
I just hate murderous regimes that murder millions of their own people
FTFY
Average imperial core Cold Warrior understander.
The US is included in my list too with the Native American genocide for what its worth lol. But people tend to forget that Soviet Russia and Communist China killed millions of their own people. They should not be praised or imitated. We should learn from the horrible mistakes of the past.
By millions murdered, you don’t mean people who died in the last famine in China after centuries of famines, and you don’t mean the last famine in the region that became the USSR after centuries of famines, right? Famines that happened during or soon after the bloody revolutions overthrowing the tsars and emperors, under which the previous famines occurred?
Is it so much to ask that workers councils be in charge instead of some revolutionary
The history of socialist movements shows that it is. Rosa Luxemburg was right over a hundred years ago.
I kinda suspect ты из Калининграда
виновен
There's no contradiction there.

"Those countries reflect poorly on socialism."
"How dare you, they're not really socialist."
