They let fascist propaganda trick them into believing that corporations are socialist because they flew the wrong flags. They would let those same fascists tell them the corporations are their friends now because they fly the right flags. That’s what they’re paying attention to.
The correct response is, “You are describing worker ownership, which is socialist.” They have to learn they’re on the wrong side before they’ll stop listening to the fascists. They have to be educated, and agree to change the flag in their head, because the right is fundamentally domineering. They won’t accidentally make socialism happen, they’ll just smash our shit because they hate our flags.
Sorry for the rant but I see this “joke” take people are making in this thread all the time and there’s a reason it’s a joke.
I’ve had that conversation. They don’t believe me when I say that’s socialism. I show them as much evidence as possible and the best case, they believe me in time but start going off about Stalin and Mao, worst case they try to say I’m lying about what socialism is.
I’ve had them state “I’ve read marx I know what socialism is” and shut down when I argue Marx was a communist, not a socialist. They cannot believe there’s a difference.
People just cannot grasp this concept.
They are delusional and willingly so. Through constant propaganda from a very, very young age they are structurally unallignable with anything against their training. No, you can’t convince them with “facts and logic” no you can’t just state “yeah and all that’s socialism” and have them flip a switch to become a socialist.
They’ll agree with each point you make they’ll agree with each policy they’ll support drastic change but the second you say that word or use the wrong language their pavlovian response kicks in and it’s
