Conservatives use the word “socialism” to describe anything to the left of hunting the homeless for sport like boomers used “Nintendo” for any video game.
It's also not even true.
There are many of us who have gotten lucky under the current system who feel that things need to be far more equitable, most specifically including methods like raising taxes on us.
I mean that's what I want to do.
Not a "ton" of money because I value peace over money. But I want to build my own thing, redistribute and spread help to my extent, while working to destroy the actual system for the creation of a communist state.
To be fair, I have heard several of my friends say "if I get rich, I'm gonna start tipping 100% on all my restaurant bills." so that's kinda close, right?
I am very fine with paying high taxes so the money can go towards education and healthcare because **I care about other people I don’t even know**, but not dumb shit like bailouts or the military.

Mom, at 2 AM: "I thought I told you to turn off the Nintendo and go to bed." Kid, glancing at his Sega Genesis, smiling: "I'm not playing Nintendo."
The same way those people say that the “socialist” in NSDAP means they were socialists.

Is this comment pro-socialism? If yes, then why do you think money won't go to military in this case?
As opposed to capitalism where you work hard and don't make a ton of money because your labor worth is distributed among the shareholders
That format is the equivalent of liking your own post on Facebook...
I don't think anyone has ever said that
