Vassil Nikolov | Васил НиколовI wish I knew what these two words, "socialism" and "communism", actually mean to this generation.
Gary Houston@vnikolov something like "socialism" is free education and health and "communism" is where you have no free speech and soldiers order you around and maybe send you to a gulag in Siberia? (the latter sounds like Trumpism actually.)

Yes, the latter does sound like that indeed.
But _if_ that is Generation Z's understanding and still one third of them hold a favorable view of that, I don't know how much time I'll need to make heads or tails of it...
csaki01@vnikolov Socialsm is the good implementation of Marx and and Communism is the risky implementation of Marx

@home@vnikolov socialism to me is a system of commerce where the means of production are not owned by all owner class, but the working class.
It's also often associated with essential goods like housing being maintained as non-profits and everyone having access to it as a fundamental right.
It seeks to take away political and economic power from a few bosses back into the hands of them many.
As for communism? I think it's more of a meme.
