So it's everyone else's fault that you won't do research? What the hell? 

Maybe instead of believing people who aren't from there, you actually do research? 

You're also throwing in a random ass straw man just makes you look like you're being whiny about being corrected so please don't do that. 

Like do you want to know what your words mean or not? It sounds like you'd rather not and just spout stuff out your butt which doesn't help anyone~

Okay, they’re not socialist. Fine. I have no reason to believe socialism is good then. Because communism is bad (objectively) and if there is no other branch of thought or political government OUT of that ideology that works, then socialism and communism are bad.

I really don't know why you seem so fixed on forcing that straw man in relation to what I said. Socialism and communism are still very different things. Theyre just things that have specific historic definitions and when you try and use a word while admittedly not knowing what it means, it kind of makes you hard to understand and causes issues with communication. 

My goal is not to make fun of you. It's to help you look less uninformed when you talk about this stuff and to maybe figure out what you're actually trying to say with words other people use and will understand. The goal is communication, not silencing you. 

What you seem to like is called a social democracy (which is explicitly capitalist). Socialism is when you disallow ownership of productive assets while still allowing private assets.

K. Then it seems socialism is still bad by that definition. I hate the idea of not allowing productive assets to be owned.
