    Socialism is about the power dynamic, rich people giving to charity isn’t socialism, nor is capital setting up a minimal welfare state to prevent a revolution, which capital then recinds as the threat is removed.

    You are not a socialist, you want to maintain the institution of capitaliam, that you makes definitionly a liberal, eg opposed to socialism.

    Don’t tag me with American pidgeonholes

    This isn’t some weird American usage of liberal, this is the way its been used for 200 years or so.

      Socialism is about

      Providing services to the citizens of the respective nation, whether that is healthcare, housing, education, pensions, social security payments. No more no less

      You are not a socialist

      Not in the pigeonholed sense you mean, no. I support strong social policy but also would like the right to vote for the leaders I want.

      you want to maintain the institution of capitalism

      Here’s you clowns bringing out the isms again. You have no idea what I want because you probably don’t truly know what you want yourself. I support the right if people to operate a business but that does not mean I support unfettered capitalism.

      this isn’t…

      It’s an American pigeonhole and dint try to make out it’s anything else. Which part of fuck off with your isms don’t you understand, Che?
