Lemmy users: yes socialism is good

Everyone else points to a country where it failed

Lemmy users: that wasn't real socialism

9/10 times a proper attempt at socialism or communism was made, imperial powers intervened and corrupted it.

Moving the goal post from "it's not real socialism" to "it was the imperial powers that intervened"

It's always something else ;)
