Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. - Lemmy.world

Posts like these demonstrates how little people understand socialism.

Nothing you listed so far is “socialism”.

you’re missing the entire point

No, it’s shit. Period.

Replace “socialism” with “handout(s),” and it works. “It’s never called a handout when giving billions to banks. But it’s handouts when ever poor people receive money.” Or “Bailout == Good; Handout == Evil”.

But calling it “socialism” makes zero sense. Making matters worse, it continues the myth that socialism is about government handouts, instead of workplace democratisation, and worker control over the means of production.

It doesn’t even say that those things are socialism. In fact to me it looks like its specifically opposing people who think handouts are socialism. Its just pointing out a double standard.
