Whenever someone calls something "socialist", ask them to explain socialism to you and watch their argument fold like a wet blanket. They usually have no idea. In fact, many would love a healthy dose of Northern European socialism in their lives, as long as you call it "Owningthelibism" or something.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I had multiple times experiences like that with American redditors.

They would say that socialism is nazism because National Socialism.

So yeah, didn't know really what to answer to such level of ignorance.

"Learn how German Komposita work, you illiterate dipshit!" is a pretty straightforward and effective reply.
