I agree with everything you said in your comment, but it seems like an odd response to this particular meme.

In this meme we have the same person saying two things:

  1. You can't use Norway as an example of Socialism being successful because it's not really socialism.

  2. We can't have social safety nets in our country (probably the U.S. in this case) because that would be socialism, and socialism doesn't work.

That person is not interested in helping reduce exploitation and preventing needless suffering.

That person is not arguing in good faith.
