Extreme socialism and extreme capitalism are essentially the same thing. Both inevitably devolve into a fascist dictatorship where u personally own nothing and have no liberty. We need both in health moderation.

While you worry about socialists ceasing someone else’s private property, capitalists take your personal property.

If u looked at my username u would see a little Australian flag. I wonder if that perhaps would indicate that I am not indeed American? If you are such an expert perhaps u can elaborate on how you would define it and how that is contradictory to my usage of it?

Hmm nah.
the username of muntedcrocodile without a little Australian flag
But, to engage without as much snark:
I think for this conversation to happen it would be good if you could define what for you is “extreme socialism”, and quickly explain how the argument you are making actually connects to the point OP made about the difference of private and personal property and how people misunderstand the difference.

Not sure if you were angling for this response or used a voice transcription service, but it’s *seizing, not ceasing, btw
Unrelated: sometimes I’ve had confusing chats over fb marketplace trying to gauge the other person’s tone/sanity, but found their texts were just off because they let voice-transcription take the wheel.

A uniquely American perspective, but I get what you’re saying.

OK, so far my impressions was US citizens don’t know the difference between private and personal property.
