R/socialism banned me for ableism because I said something is retarded. They are a joke.
65 u/Ragnnohab 18 May 2017 22:09
They sound pretty retarded
12 u/AThievingStableBoy 19 May 2017 12:43
Oh, and Dude, "retard" is NOT the proper nomenclature.
14 u/mil_phickelson 19 May 2017 15:03
Retard-American, please.
9 u/lord_alphyn 19 May 2017 18:37
That's racist.
5 u/DingoDoug 20 May 2017 05:03
Retard and socialist are synonymous.
3 u/silvet_the_potent 19 May 2017 09:38
I think at some point we should agree that retard has been taken over by the pejorative users and then come up with a new word for brain challenged people so we may also ruin that word

I'm at this point with fag. Also I want the word queer back, it's a good word and I want to use it for its original purpose. Get your own damn words people.
1 u/wolfman1911 20 May 2017 13:25
What was it's original meaning? Strange? Oh yeah, I guess that's what it was. I think the only time I've ever heard it used in that context was in the Cremation of Sam Mcgee, and that's only fresh in my mind because every know and then I like to listen to [Johnny Cash recite it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJNZwuamwj0).

This is good, though. As long as socialists are the kind of people who use words like "ableism" unironically, there's no chance socialism will actually prevail.

>Dude that wasn't real socialism >It never is!
2 u/anotherdumbcaucasian 19 May 2017 14:32
Even they know they're a joke
4 u/pigscantfly00 20 May 2017 04:48
it's already been proven by every communist state that real socialism can not exist because humans are in charge. there will always be elites.
1 u/Pheonix733 20 May 2017 23:00
They sound like communists hahaha
38 u/fraccus 19 May 2017 01:31
Ahaha, what would you expect from socialists? They dont care about free speech. They wouldnt let people tell you the truth about socialism, only the dream world they imagine is allowed there.
20 u/Seeattle_Seehawks 19 May 2017 04:34
Now come on guys if they didn't ban Venezuelans they wouldn't be able to circlejerk about how everything wrong with Venezuela is the fault of capitalism.
19 u/The_Matt_Squad 19 May 2017 04:27
I got banned from latestagecapitalism for defending free speech. Socialists are a joke.

You have to ban people living under socialsim. If you don't people would find out how completely fucking horrible it is, and would move to stop it,from happening where they,live. Only those ignorant of how horrible socialism and communists is, would allow it to happen to their countries.

I hope the potential sponsors looking in realize that reddit is full of censors. Then when everything is white washed and censored, the advertisers will realize that selling their product to whiny "activist" children with low or little spending money isn't worth it.
