Because totally ceding to them the power to define what “socialism” is and what it means has worked out great over the last 30 years, right?
Speaking of putting words into other peoples’ mouths (and, by extension, of hypocrisy…)
In fact I’m saying exactly the opposite: they have tried - partially successfully in what concerns the American political discourse field - to define welfare state as socialism. It’s those who want to continue to use this wingnut definition that are ceding the power to define what socialism is to the wingnuts.
