LuxSpes Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Depends on what you mean by "socialism" if it is social democracy like scandinavia, or europe whenever they elect center-left parties, nothing wrong with it If it is: Communist Russia or Venezuela (or Cuba, or North Korea) then there are so many wrong things with it that I don't even know where to begin. It always important to make a distinction in the two, very different things called socialism. Well those later countries were/are communists, which is socialism taken to it's extreme. Scandinavia, Europe are countries with an emphasis on socialism that still follow some tenant of capitalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Well those later countries were/are communists, which is socialism taken to it's extreme. Scandinavia, Europe are countries with an emphasis on socialism that still follow some tenant of capitalism. I'd rather say those countries are capitalist with some tenant of socialism. They use capitalist systems. People just call them "socialist" because it sounds prettier. You can own property in all of them. Government don't try to actively tell you what to do in any of them. You can make business without being related to the government. Definitely capitalist before socialist imo. Also, Venezuela isn't a communist country. It's just... Fucked by a lot of shit that makes no sense economically and has been ruled by two authoritarian shitheads Edited July 29, 2015 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughx Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The Scandinavian system is a social-democracy... They don't have a sole party in their parliament. (Like China) NK is more of a true dictatorship since Kim can kill everybody he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcerzak Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 http://www.gotoquiz.com/capitalist_or_socialist You most likely were born in communist russia, or should move to Venezuala. You are soaking in all the liberal media bias on tv, and should do some research on communist nations, and how they have faired throughout history. This has to be 100 words or longer so i need to lay some more insults down. I would recommend reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, and try soaking in a 10th of that book. Also stop reading Marx and Lenin is what it told me. You are 100% capitalist. You believe that free market economy is the key to prosperity in America, and you believe the nine most terrifying words in the U.S language are: "I'm from the government, and im here to help."-Ronald Reagan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
