Jeff Swann on Nostr: You can try, but you will have to mutilate the definition of socialism so completely ...
You can try, but you will have to mutilate the definition of socialism so completely that it will basically be indistinguishable from what ancaps call capitalism or free trade. Technically what most people call socialism requires lots of anti-social behaviors (coercion, theft, etc) so free trade is arguably more "social" or "socialist" than the policies most self avowed socialists would like to impose.
