    Well, helping those people realize that the government can do shit and it not be socialism, because words have actual meanings, is a great way to get them to stop voting against their own self interest, imo.

    It’s why I constantly die on this hill on this site to people who think universal healthcare is socialism, and call themselves socialists as a result.

      You are absolutely correct.

      I also want to point out, that to those people socialism is when government does ‘bad’ things like helping the poor. When they ban abortions, it’s job well done.
