It’s true. Everything I don’t like is socialist. And referring to things that don’t work as socialist no matter the context is an excellent idea, I’ll be doing that from now on.
I feel like this is a teaching opportunity. I’m no teacher, and certainly no academic, but socialism is a political stance that socializes basic needs, such as healthcare, transportation or education (primary and secondary). “Socialization” means every single citizen pays for those through the tax system, every year or so, proportionally to their own income. This allows everyone, regardless of their status, to enjoy good health, regular trains and buses, and a complete education, all without paying extra. It also prevents these basic amenities from falling into the wrong hands, ie those of capitalists who would gladly hike up prices, taking avantage of the fact that they’re vital things. It is something to strive for. I hope I helped make this notion clearer.
Cheers
yes. Also providing for the basic needs of the people lowers the cost of life, since a government in control of its country’s banks doesn’t usually have money problems (owes all the debt in its own currency to itself), and therefore doesn’t need to profit from services. This gives people more extra income to spend or invest on whatever, which helps economic growth. Ironically western governments are doing the exact opposite, which leads me to think we’ll just wither away from the world stage. I guess its good news in some way, not in first hand experience though ;-;
Ancaps when the
when the corporate conglomerate that owns their house demands they pay the property tax fee or else they go to private jail (it’s not a state)
I guess it doesn’t translate as well as I thought it would. I mean a response in good faith. French calls those first-degree, as opposed to sarcasm which would be second-degree

Why would you come into a thread and enthusiastically declare yourself a dickhead weirdo
Why wouldn’t you come into a thread and enthusiastically declare yourself a dickhead weirdo
Because I’m considering the audience. If a socialist is calling me a dickhead, then I’m probably right.
If a socialist calls you a dickhead, it means they’re still trying to spare your feels.
Again, why would you say something like that in this thread/community/instance?
I’m not requesting you to answer. I’m requesting you to reconsider your approach to this scenario
Just to piss people off and get them to waste their time basically

Please do correct me
And if it does everything, it’s communist-er.
I think the user above would benefit from a first degree response
i googled it, i’m helpless. Whats a first degree response?

probably i’ll have to study french, so thanks for the teaching :)
