@TruthSandwich Right, europe is closer to "capitalism with social welfare" that it is socialist.
@TruthSandwich For sure, not only is there more than capitalism and communism, but in reality governments are never a pure form of either or any form of government. Governments are some mix of characteristics and capitalism, socialism, communism and others all have some degree of influence.
For example people generally claim america is a Capitalism and Europe is Socialism... this isnt true of course, Europe has elements of each, america has elements of each (and other elements). Now you could argue america has less socialistic properties than europe, and I think there is some validity there, but Europe is still very much capitalistic.
@TruthSandwich It is easy for everyone to be employed when you dont have to pay them and there is no garuntee of food :) Communism is just slavery applied to everyone.
@TruthSandwich Even pro-capitalists rarely know what capitalism is... economics is complex and hard to understand... but at least they have the virtue of picking the side that works better than communism.
@JaneGray I will be voting for any party that doesnt want to force 4th graders to give birth AND who doesnt nominate someone who spent most of his political career trying to preserve segregation... The sad part is that doesnt describe either of the two parties.
@freemo @trinsec @jellycrystals Preach! All the more reason to buy both a bidet and ventilated seats in your car 😂

@freemo @ech @PBruce The "don't say gay" bill is very similar to the infamous British Section 28.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/cacc0b40-c3a4-473b-86cc-11863c0b3f30 You can read about it here.
Section 28 was enacted by the Conservative Party (the same people who came up with Brexit) and was repealed by Labour in 2003.
