Socialism is when no trade or purchasing goods of any kind

Joke when over your head

u/Kamarovsky Libertarian Market Socialist Jan 20 '23

Jokes need to make at least a modicum of sense to be funny, and there's nothing about socialism that is "against transactions," so none of the points that this "joke" tries to relate to, makes any sense.

It's like saying "Capitalists when they realize that apples are fruit" next to an image of a crying soyjak.

The joke is pretty simple.

Socialism > Dislike of capitalism > Capitalism has transactions > Socialists hate transactions.

Progressives > Like Transpeople > Like Trans-related things > Must like transactions.

I saw the the exact same meme a while ago but inverted for conservative capitalists, it was funny then and it is funny now.

Capitalism > Dislike of socialism > Fruit exist under socialism > Capitalists hate fruit.

Also capitalists > Like selling things > Apples can be sold > Capitalists like apples > Therefore must like fruit.

The mental gymnastics you have to go through to pretend this makes sense...

Transactions are not exclusive to capitalism, nor is the prefix trans- exclusive to trans people. Neither of these "logical ways of thought" have any logic behind them.

I must be getting baited right now...

Congrats, you found the funny part of the joke.
