That's cool. I like that stuff too. But people shouldn't have to read philosophy to get socialism. Sometimes I think socialists could do a better job of explaining it in easy simple ways.

And unfortunately that means sometimes we might end up leaving out important parts of the explanation, by trying to condense it down. It's tricky to try and explain something very simply without leaving out some important parts.
