The phrase "most fervently" is carrying a lot of weight in your argument. ETA to make my point clear, it's an inverted "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

- gojomo 5y agoYes, but I do think it's valid to include such a qualifier to draw a distinction between people who apply a very mild "socialism" to enhance a welfare state – while leaving most traditional freedoms and private property intact, and most of the economy operating by capitalistic principles (like the 'Nordic model') – and those who endorse full nationalizations & revolutionary socialism. Many of us still have hope in crypto because in 13y, it's made amazing progress & hasn't yet done mass murder – and we're suspicious of those who rally under a banner of "socialism", without reservations, because there's now a long history of that having a large body count. If 100y from now, those patterns reverse, check with me then. YMMV.
