So, what are you doing for the cause, comrade? Other than going online and denigrating those actively improving the lives of other people. Where’s your praxis?

What do you propose he do then?

Think about the reddest, most homophobic, bigoted, capitalist, Fox News brained person you can think of who thinks Black people are animals and Hispanic people are all drug smuggling cartel members and “illegals” “deserve” the camps. Now double the bigotry and then imagine a whole town full of that, and, like, one single scared gay kid. That’s not every town, but it’s a frighteningly large number, because America is a massive place and unfortunately with a continent this big you’ll end up with clusters where the outlier becomes the norm.

That wasn’t your original question though. You did not originally ask which “communist” country, you asked which “socialist” country, so I asked what you meant by “socialist”, because my first answer would have been Norway or Sweden, which I would have considered a brand of socialist.

Would you consider any European country currently existing to fall under the category of Democratic Socialism?

Would you classify democratic socialism and social democracy under the umbrella of socialism, or would you classify them differently? For the record, I am not a Stalinist, Leninist, or Maoist, if that clarifies matters.

Tell me, in your opinion, how do you define and differentiate Socialism and Communism?
