furniture socialism 

When you buy a chair you move it in the house. However if you want it as your private property you have to move it in your room. If you want it in the living room you have to let everybody sit in it and you have no say.

Screw furniture socialism I paid for my damn chair and no one is going to sit in it!

Ayn Rand Socialism 

The political view of most modern 'conservatives.' Anti-government and taxation while taking advantage of social programs in their daily lives such as roads, police and fire departments, schools, the judiciary system and various other social welfare programs.

James: I hate the fact that I have to give my hard earned money to Uncle Sam!

Sara: But it is needed to pay for things required for you to even be able to earn that money in the first place.

James: Like what?

Sara: Well for one, the FDA makes sure your meds are safe and won't kill you.

James: *Snicker*

Sara: Think about what you are actually saying before you spout off in the future. Ayn Rand Socialism is a load of bullocks.

communism and socialism 

Totalitarianism. (also national socialism,fascism,international socialism,corporate welfare/coporate socialism,the UN,etc)

Total utter bullshit.

Gay.

Some assholes must finance this bullshit.Hmmm,who could possibly finance these types of globalist fun and games and social engineering experiments? Hmmm,who could it be...who has the money to finance this bullfuckingshit?

Rich people.That's who.BILLIONAIRES ->Capitalists!!!!!

Communism and socialism are gay fantasies of the globalists (elitists).

Communism = rich people telling the poor people to kill the middle class so that the poor people can rule and share the wealth (or more like share the poverty because the rich will still be rich and still rule,and the poor will still be poor...they just got your dumb ass to kill their enemy,the middle class...now they own your poor ass and you're their slave,congratulations,fucktard!)....

socialism is just communism minus the revolutions,
in other words the government is just slowly implementing it and slowly conditioning your dumb ass to accept it (let me put it into a digestible soundbite for you, "Mr.Gorbachev,tear down this wall"...that means that the marxist/communist revolutionary approach failed but conditioning people to accept it works much better!)

either way you will eventually become a total slave and lose all of your rights

American democratic socialism 

What the rest of the world calls social democracy. Much like American football, we’ve created our own definition. After years of political scientists cringing at misuse of the word, people are throwing their hands up, and accepting that in the US, socialism means something completely different than it does literally anywhere else.

Person 1: I thought socialists wanted to “seize the means of production.”
Person 2: Bernie advocates American democratic socialism. He doesn’t want any of that.

Umbrella Socialism 

Umbrella socialism - It is a common illusion that umbrellas are not exclusively personal belongings but socially-owned items that should be shared by anyone else, not just by the supposed owners, contributing to radically reducing a sense of guilt that using others' without any permission is a clear case of theft.

"Hey, that's not your umbrella, is it? I saw that in the umbrella stand at the cafe, when we went in"
"I steal theirs, as they steal mine. That's Umbrella Socialism".

Secondhand Socialism

The economic system in which a government taxes and regulates businesses heavily, rather than owning the means of production. This allows the government to control and profit from said corporations without the duty of running them.

“Bernie Sanders is not a socialist. He would never suggest that the government should own all businesses”
“No, but he certainly believes in Secondhand Socialism the way he talks of Amazon’s taxes”

Democratic Socialism 

A "Big Tent" definition of Democratic Socialism, that includes Bernie Sanders, AOC, me, and maybe you:

A democratic process of defining, shaping, and implementing shared agreements to ensure that (A) The essential needs of every individual and community are met*, (B) Every individual/organization does and gives their fair share in support of healthy, safe, and functioning communities, and (C) Every individual/organization/community/nation considers their impact on their neighbors, resources, and planet.

A participatory, non-exploitative, and regenerative system of economics that supports individual, community, and planetary well-being.

*Essential Needs: Housing, water, food, safety, health care (including physical, mental, and dental health), education/childcare, transportation, communications, banking, and retirement/disability income.

Democratic Socialism empowers the democratic majority to end the exploitative, unsustainable, and non-regenerative behaviors of individuals, organizations, and governments in support of individual, community, and planetary well-being.
