Socialism is the belief that ALL forms of slavery, not just chattel slavery, should be illegal. That means your boss cannot sell a portion of your labor to someone who will effectively own a percentage of you and live off of your hard work.
Socialism is the belief that no one should get to freeload off of you, compared to Capitalism which is the belief that the rich should be allowed to buy a percentage of you and leech on you.
A: Hey man I am so fucking tired of creating $500 of value in a work day but only getting $100 of it.
B: Me too. I wish we could abandon Capitalism and switch to Socialism.

(Civilian) Social Commandeering (AKA Social Hijacking)
A phenomenon where individuals, under the guise of social righteousness, attempt to seize control of someone's work, career, or reputation. These groups believe their moral or social agendas should take precedence and use social pressure to enforce this belief. On the internet, they often target artists, podcasters, or other creators, demanding that they endorse specific agendas or censor certain content. This practice forces creators to speak with a voice other than their own, undermining their original goals and leading to severe repercussions, such as public shaming or career damage, if resisted. This can be seen as a form of reverse 'Virtue Signaling,' where the pressure to conform is imposed externally rather than expressed personally.
"After releasing a new virtual art exhibition, the host faced Social Commandeering when a vocal group demanded the removal of an artist they found controversial." "Wow, even here people are so risk averse!"
News from your peers. Word of mouth news. News 2.0
Tammy logged onto her Facebook to read the social news coverage on a concert that she was unable to attend. She read comments, saw pictures, and watched some of the concert on video which was recorded on a smartphone. She felt happy because she finished her term paper and still felt as if she was actually at the concert.
Someone who will ask you for your opinion or ask you “questions” with the intent to coerce you into an argument. If they don’t like what you have to say, they will use it against you to triangulate people within a social circle. Social manipulators do this to feed off the drama they created.
Typically they do this to gain social clout within their community and or on social media where the social manipulator will manufacture lies, launch a smear campaign against you to gain support for the lies they made up about you. They achieve this by gaslighting the community with cherry picked screenshots that do not provide the community with enough information to assess the situation for themselves. Sometimes they will just out right expect you to blind follow them by telling you, you just need to ‘trust them’.
They tried to coerce me into talking badly about a mutual friend and when I wouldn’t, they accused me of trying to silence them, then dragged me across social media based on the lies they made up to gain attention. What a social manipulator.
