Pinboard added,
By "socialism" people in this country mean "social democracy", not "oppressive communist regime". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't get why this important distinction isn't driven home more by progressives.
Because most socialists in history have not favored 'oppressive communist regime', they just created the conditions for it to happen. They all would have said they were trying to build Denmark.
“Most capitalists in history have not favored genocide, slavery and perpetual warfare, they just created the conditions for it to happen” is not really a good argument against capitalism, not sure why it obtains here against socialism.
Because we're not choosing an economic system de novo, but debating whether to incrementally fix what we have, or tear it down and try something we know in advance will fail.
There is plenty of incremental socialist policymaking out there, and we already have plenty of socialist institutions that are objectively good. So this seems like a straw man argument.
I mean, it's twitter.
