Lemmy users: yes socialism is good
Everyone else points to a country where it failed
Lemmy users: that wasn't real socialism
you're right ;)
Yeah, I lived in Venezuela for 30 years, experienced the democratic Republic and the authoritarian regime of Chavez/Maduro
9/10 times a proper attempt at socialism or communism was made, imperial powers intervened and corrupted it.
Here’s a tip: Git gud
Moving the goal post from "it's not real socialism" to "it was the imperial powers that intervened"
It's always something else ;)
it's not moving the goal post but okay my man. show me a time when capitalism worked well and wasn't corrupted.
it's all broke so whatever.
Now changing the subject
okay.
