      Today I learned that Socialism is when you do Capitalism in a nice way.

      Oh wait, no I didn’t, because Capitalism and Socialism are completely different modes of Production.

        No, they’re not.

        They’re economic systems, not modes of production.

        Today, you’re still refusing to accept reality.

        It’s right there before your eyes. You’re too brainwashed to see it.

          In your own words, they are economic systems. What do you call a system built on Capitalism, but with a slightly larger welfare net? Socialism? No, you call it Capitalism.

          You’re calling me brainwashed for correctly pointing out that Capitalism is Capitalism, even if you dress it up nicely?
