Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?

Socialism is supposed to be a transformative period, leading to communism. I have no idea why people write the !=.

Because exclusively that’s the communist viewpoint. There are different socialist ideologies than communism. It’s a rectangle vs square situation.

But everyone knows that. Nobody even remotely suggested anything close to it.

“Socialism will transition to communism” is just a communism thing. Social democracy is different. It doesn’t involve communism. Because communism is cringe.

Communism isn’t cringe, wtf are you talking about. And yes, if we want to discuss communism, we need to take into account that it was suggested to start with socialism beforehand.
Social democracy has jack all to do with socialism, if we want to keep being pedantic. And social democracy does not fare all that well in poorer countries, even after massive EU funds. Which is the real cringe.
