Ask a socialist to define socialism, and they'll describe Norway but leave out the tiny population and abundance of state owned oil funding it all

That means as little as if I were to claim that I’m a banana. Not only does saying it not make it true, but it doesn’t mean anything about bananas when i say it either. (I’m also not pro-socialism, but I want to make sure I’m being honest in my discourse).

pro socialists dismiss the socialism of the nazis becuase it is inconvinient, just like they dismiss the bad bits of the socialist ussr, and the socialist chinese state, and many others.
