Toddler Explains Socialism

My 18-month-old son built this. I told him good job and then took half of it. He cried, so i told him, “that’s socialism, don’t let them bring it here.” He looked me dead in the eye and said: “You stole my labor. You’re thinking of capitalism. Socialism is when the workers own the means of productions. So really a more apt comparison would be if I owned the means to my LEGO bricks and was compensated fairly for the full value of my labor. You’re so fucking stupid, dad”

A father says he took half of his toddler’s LEGO construction and jokingly calls it socialism. The child’s imagined response corrects the political analogy and argues that the father is actually acting like a capitalist, making the joke a parody of overly serious ideological debates.
