I am not a proponent of communism, it does not work imo. If I thought Corbyn was communist then I wouldn't be backing him.
Also just because nationalisation has been used within communist governments (although there haven't been many), doesn't make it that in principle. It's ridiculous. That's like saying because the Nazis used book-burnings, that it makes burning books a nazi concept.. not at all.

I'm sorry Josh BB, but your argument is 'Strawman'. BitOnTheSlide did NOT "drag down the concept of nationalisation by saying it's communism" - he clearly stated that;
"nationalising things is
typical behaviour of a communist government"
which it is.
