Thats just not what democratic socialism is. Socialists reject the market and end private property. Thats what socialism is

No, that's what communism is.

If private property exists, its not socialism. Period, non-negotiable.

Communism and socialism are not synonyms.


Communism has more aspects than social ownership of the means of production. These include common ownership of the MoP, classlessness, statelessness, moneylessness, worker self-management, etc.

For socialism, there is only one (hence why the word is so vague). Social onwership of the means of production is what separates socialism from European models of late capitalist welfare states.

I honestly don't understand why the far-leftist movement has such admiration for certain figures like Che Guevara, Castro, Stalin, and Mao.

Because for most of history, they have been a fringe group, the only "Great" leaders are also mass murderers. I mean, not many people know Engel and Luxembourg.

Yeah, it's a shame more of the Left doesn't talk about people like Engels or Luxembourg or Debs.

A lot of early fascists were syndicalists though.


The early Fascists favored radical socioeconomic policies such as redistribution of wealth, nationalization of Church property, and universal suffrage (in an age where women didn't have the vote).

Oh shit, it appears as if Neosocialism was one of the first steps in the evolution of 20th century Fascism (which as we well know descended from Socialist thinkers in the earlier part of the 20th century). It overall seems like a pretty bad economic system.
