In this thread, a socialist attempts to redefine multiple words such that being against "a form of social organization where a small subset [...] can rule society by intentionally excluding everyone else from access to capital" means you're a socialist.

This is the bread and butter of far left ideologies.
Redefine words until your own ideology ends up on top, by painting the "bad guys" as ultra-super-bad, and anyone who is against ultra-super-bad is your ally, clearly!!
It is *disgustingly* dishonest, manipulative, and those who use such tactics cannot be reasoned with, as they utterly reject reason in favor of the manipulation of language.
Ostracize such people. They are destroyers, never builders.
Um is it confusing to you that you're a socialist by that definition, the ordinary definition of socialism as presented by me, a socialist? You don't have to call yourself socialist, feel free to use words how you like! You could also try to understand me.
Defining words isn't the ultimate point. I'm explaining to you how I use these words so that you can understand what I'm saying & decide whether or not you agree with it. It seems like you might actually agree with me, if you listened a bit more carefully.

You're a dandelion by the definition that a dandelion means you're not a wedding planner by day, batman by night.
Of course, words can't just be defined however we want them to be defined.
This is the last time I'm responding to you. Bye!
Feel free to talk to me or not!! You don't have to announce whether you're going to-- maybe you shouldn't, actually, & then you wouldn't encounter this problem where you're not able to stick to the unsolicited public commitment you made moments earlier. :/
