I explained that socialism was democratic control of businesses to someone, and they said that the government doing stuff is socialism since the government controls business, and the government has democracy.
Okay, but real talk, “modern socialist transported into feudal era, goes about birthing socialist ideas into this context” is a hell of a good isekai/high fantasy plotline and I love it as a trope. Whether it genuinely explores primitive communism as a historical stage and Leninist tactics’ earliest roots in early popular revolts and people’s rebellions and radical equality religious heresies, or is just good fun with Soviet stereotypes running around feudal villages and cities spreading ideas at least a thousand years ahead of their time.
Yeah. It’s such a good trope. It’s rare, you kinda have to expand to “socialist ideals, even if not called socialism” and all “revolution stories” featuring an out-of-time character far more progressive than the place and time they’re transported to, to find a decent amount of it, but, like, let’s be real, good revolution stories are fun even if it’s not a communist revolution, and the destruction of an awful system is great even if the replacement isn’t as good as it could be, as long as it’s significantly better for the vast majority of the common folk. (Most of my favourites, the main characters aren’t even communists, just revolutionary leaders who use military tactics that Mao or Ho Chi Minh would recognize, and understand that you gotta feed your people and that you gotta create effective and democratic systems for people to govern themselves.)
It makes sense once you realize that chuds think that cops are socialism:
God that guy was great, a genuine ‘socialism is when the government does stuff’ believer

The ban was bittersweet. Was it deserved? Absolutely. Did I want to see more of their shitty takes? Absolutely.
Every country everywhere is a mixed socialist system cause they have a government
Congratulations, you are now a moderator in r/AnarchoCapitalism
I wish people would at least understand the basics of their own ideology.
It’s funny how bleeding heart libs and chuds think socialism is when the government does stuff
Socialism is when the government spends any money
King Alfred the Great was a socialist because he instituted some public education in the 890s

Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court crossed with Lazar Lagin’s Blue Man? Sounds fun!

I’ve never seen it, but I want it. Please recommend some books or manga/manwha/mahua regarding it.
yea its kinda like salt and paper. You just have to adjust the dose. Coz politics is totally like cuisine
The paper is why I don’t like muffins 🤢
The trick is to really chew for a few minutes at a time
It’s not about texture, I just don’t like the taste
It’s a good source of fiber
Wtf theyre like the dessert of muffins, its my favorite part. Cupcake wrappers suck though, those are dry as fuck
