TIL twitter is "socialist," despite being a publicly traded corporation. When are people going to realize that this PC campaign is driven by corporatists, not socialism?

Socialist in the "do as I say not what you want" sense. And in the way they let people on the left get away with harassment and doxing but ban people perceived to be right-wing for criticising feminists. Do you support the revolution or will you go to the gulag?

Your quotation literally has no veracity, whatsoever. You should probably familiarize yourself with the topics you choose to respond to, then compose your response.

Also, the Gulag was a governmental agency in charge of the soviet forced labor camps during the Stalin era. The USSR was communist led. In anticipation of someone asserting that, because of the "socialist" in USSR, the Soviet Union was in fact Socialist, I'd simply point to the "republic" in USSR, or the plethora of easily cited examples of countries being named for political and social systems they don't follow.

So that's A 2/2 score in the dumbass section. Congrats, a perfect score.

Nepotistic, cronyism capitalists, and authoritarian fascists are all terms that come to mind in these situations.

he got unverified, not banned, because twitter doesn't want to look like they verify douchebags. And he is a glorious douchebag

Not all types of authoritarianism are socialism. And not all types of socialism are authoritarian. The battle against corporate authority has always been led by socialists.

My point is that people desperately need to learn what the words they use actually mean. Just because something is bad and authoritarian does not mean it's socialism.
