Lmao. Socialism works great. Where I live we have some of the highest taxes but we also have one of the strongest middle classes. We have everything we need. The only sad part is that the far right has gained more power because they made stupid people believe "the immigrants" were taking away our social security. But then the far right took away some of our social security. You can't make this shit up.
Socialism refers to collective ownership of the means of production. Social democracy refers to a capitalist market economy supplemented by welfare programs, labor protections, and public services. The two terms are not interchangeable despite frequent misuse on the internet. You are describing and advocating for social democracy not socialism.
Finally somone who can distinguish the difference. Having some socialist policies doesn't make whole system socialist
It is amazing to me. How many people don't know the difference constantly advocating for social democracy under the name of socialism.
It is infuriating.
Wow, you can google things and add nothing to the conversation, good job!
Wow, you can be condescending and add nothing to the conversation.
The existence of a middle-class is in direct contradiction with socialism. Y'all make .ml look like a bunch of smart people, not a good look
I'm talking about the socialist parties in my government that push and implement socialist structures that decreases the amount of people in both the lower and higher class.
But that was obvious so I don't know why you don't understand that.
