prager u, ladies and gentlemen

Leftists legitimately shocked that people don’t buy that slightly changing the nomenclature changes the underlying principles.

Rightists legitimately not understanding the meme or that we’d actually want “democratic socialism” to just be socialism anyway. Since, let’s be honest here, “democratic socialism” as described by Bernie Sanders and others is just welfare capitalism with union jobs, and it’s hilarious that Prager U actually thinks New Deal-esque proposals designed to save capitalism are “cultural marxist takeovers trying to implement full socialism”. Until workers democratically control their workplaces and production for profit is replaced (neither of which are proposed by social democrats), we’ll still have capitalism, even when it calls itself “democratic socialism”.

Given how often rightists call nazis ‘socialist’ its pretty easy to believe they’ll “buy {the idea} slightly changing nomenclature changes underlying principles”
