Lemmy users: yes socialism is good
Everyone else points to a country where it failed
Lemmy users: that wasn't real socialism
9/10 times a proper attempt at socialism or communism was made, imperial powers intervened and corrupted it.
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.
