Get the Socitalist mug.An individual, who when drunk, displays an aggressive and vocal concern for their own civil liberties. A Buckfast Socialist will have a strong yet misplaced confidence in their knowledge of the Human Rights Bill.

Get the Buckfast Socialist mug.The half-assed attempt by European airlines to offer a premium airline seat by sticking a fucking piece of plastic between two economy class seats. Snobby business pricks who sit at the front of the plane still get to sip on a drink and judge the masses as they are herded to the back of the cabin, however they must be confined to the same inhuman space and rancid hot-pocket meal as everyone else.
Did you see Bill, that lucky bastard got upgraded to first class?
Yeah, but its Europe, so he will walk off the plane with hemorrhoids and mud-butt like everyone else. Socialist business class ensures everyone is treated like shit.

Get the Socialite mug.A social democrat.
A socialist is someone who advocates for the means of production to be controlled by the government or community as a whole.
Because the American political spectrum is skewed to the right they seem to believe that universal healthcare, free university, high taxes, redistribution of property and a strong welfare system are socialist. However, they are not socialist in themselves, only general left-wing notions. Some of these may even be supported by the right, for instance the majority of European conservatives are proponents of universal healthcare, but evidently they are not socialists.
American 'socialists' often cite the Nordic countries as successful 'socialist' countries. Despite this, the means of production in these countries is privately owned, so they are actually social democracies.

American: Bernie Saunders is a socialist.
European: He's not a socialist, he's an American 'socialist'.
American: What's the difference?
European: The latter is a social democrat.
