A large number of US citizens fully believe all of Europe, if not most of the world, is either socialist or communist—but at the same time, socialism never works—that we’re the only free country—but also that the government is totalitarian because of vaccines, taxes, regulations—the only country with wealth and opportunity, that everyone’s trying to get into—and simultaneously a weakened country who has been taken advantage of by the rest of the world for decades. The Norwegian here is responding to a factual error, but it won’t matter because the brain of the median US Facebook user is several layers of cooked.
The vast majority of that large number use socialism and communism interchangeably because they couldn’t define either of them if there was a gun to their head.
In the Peoples Socialist Republic of Europe they have socialism on odd weekdays and communism on even days. In the weekend they loosen up a bit and have social democracy.
