that's not socialism
Look for National Socialism. See if it checks.
Edit: Funny the amount of downvoters. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
maybe try and read a dictionary bud? sorry they downvoted you, but socialism is good, that isn't socialism

Smh. And I quote:
So you don't actually know what socialism is. If you did, you'd be the last one saying the Nazis were using the name correctly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
Smh. And I quote:
To misuse names as labels contradictory to substance is a hallmark of propaganda. I don't fall for it. Just because Nazis want people to think they're just crunchy on the outside while remaining warm and caring on the inside and pick a name they think will do that for outsiders doesn't actually mean shit.
Nuance is important. Learn to look past the name.
Says the one who was unable to get a joke comment in which I'm calling them "national socialist" and not just socialists to call them nazis (since the nazis called themselves national socialists and not simply socialists).
You talk about nuance and can't see that I'm specifically calling them national socialists and not just socialsts.
Ffs, have you escaped from .ml? You look ridiculous in your defense of socialism when all I did was a joke about nazism.
Edit: You shouldn't talk about nuance when you didn't get the "nuance" on the first place. Notice the capitalized letters in the first comment and not just the name. Nuance is important, so by calling it National Socialism (mind the caps) and not national socialism (mind the caps again) I'm using not the general definition of the socialism but the name nazis gave to their movement (which was, as every name, capitalized). You didn't get the joke. And that's fine. But it's not on me.
You sounded like a rightwinger who unironically confuses nazis with actual socialists, and it didn't help that you started off defending what you said for two more comments rather than admitting you were joking and accepting that of course they're different.

My original comment:
Notice the three K in america referencing the KKK? And how I specifically capitalized National and Socialism so it's not just "socialism" but the name the nazis decided to give to their movement by capitalizing both words?
Really? A right winger when I'm both calling Amerikkka nazis and reminding them of the KKK? Mate, you didn't get the joke and are blaming me for it.
I don't think you read what Poe's law says.
You sounded like a right winger in the sense that you said the same things right wingers said, not in the sense that I believe you are one.
No, I don't believe I did.
I think that in these terrible times, if your edgy humour that uses the same logic as right wing talking points from 2024 doesn't land, ranting at people for two comments that they don't understand that nazi means socialist without making it clear that you know that that was intentionally misleading, instead of making it clearer that it was a joke doesn't make you come across as a fun person, and is why people started explaining the difference to you.
For at least five hours after your first post (which I see you have now edited), you just disagreed angrily with people pointing out that nazis and socialists are different. Why would anyone believe this was an attempt at humour?
If you actually want to make people laugh, you need to lighten up a bit and be less defensive if it doesn't land. It's not my fault that your humour wasn't funny enough for people to get it, so maybe blame the audience less and make it clearer that you're attempting to satirise stupid magas rather than being one.
There is no "of course that's wrong and stupid, no one in their right mind would believe such a thing, so it's obviously a joke" with maga folk. Hence Poe's law.
I know what Poe's law is. I never heard a right-winger call themselves National Socialists. And if you've read any of my previous comments anywhere on lemmy, you'd see I'm far from a right winger.
You are right, i confused you with the previous poster, I edited that part removing it.
Ranting at people who don't know history and how the nazis called themselves National Socialists (I specificall, used those words and not just socialists)? Dude, if people are dumb is not my fault. Telling me to read a fucking dictionary when they haven't opened a history book? Really?
I'm sorry if you never opened a history book? Is that what I should say?
I'm really flabbergastered that you are blaming me for people not having opened a history book (else they would know about National Socialism and not just socialism) in their lives. But I guess that's what I get for assuming people have read. I'm not gonna apologize for defending what was a nuanced joke that ignorants didn't get. That's not my fault.
My first reply is "look for national socialism". Not for socialism, but national socialism. First result on search engines for "national socialism" is fucking nazism. If someone is still thinking I'm attacking socialism, they are... dense. To say the least. And it's not on me.
That, or they are trying to not look dumb but putting it on me, which I don't accept either.
That was a good joke. Even without the KKK that joke should have been recognizable.
How can the desperation be resolved so that people on Lemmy don't assume the worst and comments can stay on topic?
I can call a party "the cumfarts and beer union" and have nothing to do with either, proofs in the pudding, so to speak.
Nazis called themselves national socialists.
The magas are now openly nazist.
If you call the magas national socialists (and not simply socialists) you are calling them nazis.
The joke is way less funny when you have to explain it.
