    Propaganda.

    People don’t know what socialism actually means because of propaganda…

    you can ask someone who is against “socialism” whether they like it by talking about elements of it without explicitly mentioning the word “socialism” and they will probably agree with it.

      seriously, do this! it’s extremely fucking depressing!

      Get a list of policies for a socialist party, read it to someone, then at the end say “and that’s the policies the socialist party want to implement” and watch the killswitch in their brain activate.

      People don’t know what socialism actually is beyond literally defining it as bad and scary. It’s insane how uneducated and stupid most of us are.
