You know, I really don't care how you define the system as long as it works.
I have been people argue about 'socialism' vs. 'social democracy' vs 'communism' since I was in grade school and none of it has done a drop of good for anyone whatsoever.
While people on the Left are wasting time arguing, the people on the Right are voting. They are the ones who keep winning because they keep their eyes on the prize.
Donald Trump is literally throwing people in jail for speaking out, and expanding the Gaza genocide right now, and you're focusing on how I define 'socialism.
If you're unable to clearly define your terms, you're unable to think correctly. Knowing what you're talking about is a good in and of itself.
That voting is a downstream consequence of a long program of mass manipulation and propaganda, backed with voter-suppression measures. Unless you address that root cause, lecturing people about not voting is a pointless distraction.
Making a couple posts didn't take long, and education is part of the process. There can be no revolution without revolutionary consciousness. If you become capable of thinking more clearly, maybe you'll someday be in a position to affect events in a more constructive way.
You never answered the main point.
