Move to Cuba
Exactly what I said.
Cuba is communist not socialist.
Know the difference.
Replace all your "socialism" by "communism" and I would fairly agree with you.
"Socialism: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialismSocialism is the introductory stages of Communism, both based in Marxist theory. They are indistinguishable except in scale and progression. Socialism is designed to be a delivery mechanism for Communism. Maybe before advocating for an ideology you should actually know something about it.
The problem is that there are multiple definitions of communism. There is the definition Moglie is using which is what most people use in common conversation that defines communism according to what "communist" parties have done in the past. Then, there is the actual definition which you have just posted.
Yes if people have BASIC economics education, they will reject socialism. Understanding socialism and its benefits requires much more than a basic economics education. It requires a very complex economics education to identify the flaws within a capitalist system and pinpoint possible solutions. "Basic" economics is oversimplifies everything and turns an otherwise empathetic human into someone who thinks the market will solve everything.
I really ask that people like Artemis try to learn about socialism through socialists instead of only learning about socialism from capitalists who will obviously portray it in a way that is completely unacceptable.
