I understand why you might say that but I don’t think delineating between “socialism” = attempting to achieve communism the ideal and “communism” = the ideal is always a meaningful or necessary distinction.
I don’t think anyone here would have a problem if it said “(Bothering to even attempt reaching) communism doesn’t work” but that kind of thing just leads to leftist memes becoming unnecessarily long. I think all of us here know what the intent is, and that is to critique propaganda by capitalist states that AES or any movement outside capitalism towards something better is futile, when the reality is that they are doing everything they can, including that messaging itself, to supress it.
Okay, I getcha, but I think communism and socialism are both equally explainable and easily so. I doubt that they’re all that hard to explain and that’s what I was getting at. But fine, maybe I sounded pedantic. I don’t think you have to use multiple words explain either though
I’m not playing word games.
I’m specifically trying not to do that.
Communism hasn’t happened yet, but we should eventually be able to get there.
