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.

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
