You can’t “debunk” Marxism by skimming the Wikipedia page. You can’t expound on your infantile “critique” from a position of total ignorance.

Every time a liberal “debunks” Marxism it is, without fail, not a single exception, the exact same shit that was discredited 150 years ago. A lot of “Marx didn’t consider”s that he’s written entire essays on. They can’t come up with literally anything new, spewing the same shit over and over again like a broken record.

Are liberals allergic to academic honesty?

And no I am not German I stole the screenshot.

    She used an example of socialism to describe the success of capitalism. The initial penicillin trials were funded by government and charitable sources, not private capital.

        that’s not what socialism is

        there's a reason why neoliberalism was founded on dismantling the state. The mere possibility for a collective response, such as a state funded enterprise for healthcare (lol Biden's covid eugenics holocaust) is anathema to their "free association between individuals navigating the free market" utopia.

            Whether intentional or unintentional, assigning a specific definition to a term that lacks a commonly accepted meaning is a conversational obstructionist strategy, a tactic broadly known as 'framing'. It is used extensively by politicians to control the narrative around socialism (think red scare, palmer raids, etc). While "social democracy" is a positive framing, it still obstruct the original statement. In this case ending up in a semantics debate or attempting to assign a different emotional message. I'm not ragging on you specifically, I just want to point out that this is a thing people do.
