    If it was regular ol’ socialism around here, that’s one thing, but quite a bit of lemmy is straight Marxism. Don’t let them blur the lines, please.

    Yay socialism!

    Boo Marxism!

      Marxism is literally just an ideological framework which is used to interpret, analyse and critique the socioeconomic conditions we live under. Discussion and implementation of socialism necessarily implies the application of marxism. What you wrote is a bit like saying that women’s rights advocacy is good but feminism is bad.

      I’m guessing you may have meant marxism-leninism?

      “What’s the difference between Socialism and Marxism?”

      “Well, Socialism is when you do the things I like but Marxism is when you do the things I don’t like.”

      “What do you like?”

      “Generating passive incomes on the labors of other people!”

      Boo Marxism!
