No offense, but have you been talking to people? My friends who think they’re socialists think this means paying more taxes for public infrastructure, or taxing the corporations more to pay for it.

At the same time, they hate communism, which they think is trying to give people free stuff without having to work and make everyone receive the same salary. I have a friend, self-proclaimed socialist, thinks Andrew Yang is a communist because he wants to give people universal basic income.

These are the “socialists” you’re dealing with.

Yeah I'd like to know how many of those people can define socialism and which historical societies they consider to be genuine attempts at socialist-construction.
