    No True Scotsman

    I love how people use the term to mean “Words cannot have definitions”, which isn’t what the fallacy means at all.

    But I bet it makes them feel real smart for a few seconds when they incorrectly use the term.

      Lol yeah. No True Scotsman is against shifting/arbitrary definitions, but your definition of socialism here is rigid and clear.
