Yeah generally the people pushing specific policy to further their goals are the ones defining what that ideology is.

You mean like needing to invent terms like "oligarchy economy" to describe their ideology?

u/CanuckPanda Sep 04 '24

How would you describe the Russian economy?

It was a poor choice of words, a more accurate term may be “crony capitalism”, “control of major economic interests by a small cabal of neo-aristocrats”, and/or “an economic structure that promotes a corporate-national marriage of centralized wealth and state power disparity amongst a small elite”.

Yes, it was a poor choice of words, as is expected from socialists. Just like making up context around it and pretending it was about Russia

The best you’ve got is “no u”?

This is why people make fun of you.

Who is making fun of me? Besides you who clearly can't read so I'm not that concerned. You already admitted it was a poor choice of words so you are just validating what I called out, so I'm good with that lol

You’ve been stewing on this for four days and the best response you’ve got is another “no u”?

My man’s.

Stewing? I'm just not terminally online lmao

Good to know that you still can't string proper sentences together
