The unwillingness of most western countries to distinguish between socialism and militarist communism is frankly baffling, especially given the significant amount of socialism-friendly policies that are ***already*** implemented in many of these countries, particularly the U.S.
It’s the terminology itself that continues to be a bogeyman, hamstringing societal progress mostly because of semantics.
You mean there are governments that don’t treat their citizens like mere resources to be exploited?
