He's a socialist, but doesn't know what socialism is. | WHEN SOCIALISM DOESN'T WORK, IT ISN'T REAL SOCIALISM, LIKE THE SCANDINAVIAN MODEL IS. THOSE COUNTIES ARE CAPITALIST SOCIAL DEMOCRACIES, NOT DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST COUNTRIES. | image tagged in memes,creepy condescending wonka,bernie this is why | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Technically Correct | YOU ARE TECHNICALLY CORRECT THE BEST KIND OF CORRECT | image tagged in technically correct | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
But where I have to part ways with you is here: “Bernie is a socialist”

In colloquial American usage: Yes, he is a socialist (“socialist” = someone on the capital-L Left)

But he is not, according to this more technically precise definition

Any meme that drills down on the complicated definitions here is something people need to see
