Socialism is when Democrats do things. Especially when they give things to people who aren't me. Doubly especially if they aren't white.

That's socialism. And Naziism.

Lol good call on the /s especially in lieu of the seed of this thread. It's pretty frightening just how willing so many are to go along with groupthink. And realistically espouse just that.

Sounds like we need to rebrand the original word "socialism" to something without the Nazi continuation. I'm thinking humanism (I'm worried that might turn into complete disrespect for any non-human form of life) or human dignitarian. I'd love to hear better versions than what I just came up with on the fly.
