British women sure are hideous.Sure, better food, thinner women, better weather. There is a reason so many brits want to retire in France. But in all seriousness, it was a joke.
You guys are so hung up on race you are completely missing the point."Yeah, but even though every race will spend less on health care, blacks and browns will spend more lesser."
It's two scoops-ism. If white folks are only just benefiting, but not benefiting to an equal or greater extent than minorities, they'd just rather everyone be worse off.
Not all of them... but they aren't known for their beauty no...British women sure are hideous.
You're ruining the discourse of the thread.
If you group whites, Latinos, Asians, and blacks into population groups then take their relative tax burdens and the relative benefit each would receive from socialized medicine then yes it is a direct subsidy from one community to another. This matters politically to participants, it isn't a social issue that is easily diffused either. As I said before, the class issue is diffused someone by personal familial ties which create social pressure to assume some care of community members. When you have distinct communities operating within the same framework without that sense of connection it is a recipe for disaster in the long run. Am I just not explaining this concept correctly? Social cohesion in multicultural groups falls into the toilet, nobody wants to contribute to the social good because every group has a different set of values and they don't want to subsidize the values of other communities.
It’s just a poison term.
Actual socialism, as in Marxism, as in the State owning all businesses is a terrible, terrible idea.
Universal healthcare and affordable college tuition, which Republicans call socialism, are great ideas.
Good for you.College Is already affordable if you go to a community college for 2 years and them transfer to a state school for 2 years. It's not free and you have to work and save some money but it's not unnatainable by and stretch.
But what do I know? I only did just that and I work on a team of graduates from MIT, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, and William & Mary.
Guess what? I make the same salary they do.
Good for you.
Not quite quick enough: Different people have different things in mind when they use the term, and a massive amount of time and rectal pain could be saved and avoided by people realizing that.
Command economies suck. I think we all know that. Markets are awesome. But to work effectively, they need post-market redistribution, some regulations (should be minimized), and some gov't-provided services and infrastructure.
The Norwegian state owns roughly 66% of the country's wealth and if you exclude home ownership(because its not really a part of the means of production) it goes up to 75%. That's still not all the country's wealth but it is most of it and Norway has one of the highest living standards in the world. For comparison the Chinese state, an officially communist one, owns roughly 33% of the country's wealth.
That doesn't mean their system can be neatly adapted everywhere else but the point is it works to a large extent over there. What's terrible is a command economy where a powerful centralized state dictates all prices and transactions but in Norway despite the very high levels of state ownership its still a market economy.
I only agree if it is a three person arbitration panel: one I choose, one you choose, and a third mutually agreed upon by our respectively chosen arbitrators.I was responding to your request. Here's my offer: I will agree to binding arbitration of the matter by a mutually agreed-upon third party. Or you can submit an overlooked post, and if I deem it worthy, I will "like" it in exchange for the lost "like." This is serious business.

Until the 80's Canada was extremely homogeneous unless you count the English/French divide which I don't since the English are just a bunch of wanna be Frenchmen.
The diversification of Canada is a relatively recent thing. I think they have diversified more then any other country in the world in the last 20 years if I am not mistaken.
Sure, it was homogeneous and is in the process of becoming multicultural and is experiencing tremendous transition pains and from all accounts ethnic groups are claiming parts of the country as micro states. Not exactly what I would call a ringing endorsement of multiculturalism.
Are you like 15?
Which would make it not homogeneous. Glad my post was able to get you to think it through unlike your previous post.
I'm not excluding land in the second number, only home ownership. So land on which a factory is built or housing that is put up for rent isn't excluded, only residences that are owned by their residents.Its a mixed economy. Land does count, rent, factories, stores, etc. all go on land. By the same metric USA govt is ~40% of the economy. To me they are both variants of the same system. USA = SOCIALISM
Because there were no roads, police or firefighters, court systems, bridges etc. prior to socialism, right?
Never seen an incel so rage filled over the March of Dimes.The Polio vaccine was created by an American, but let me guess, this has something to do with socialism because folks like you think the March of Dimes is some sort of a Socialist concept? Idiot wannabe Socialists post this meme all the time, and I can't for the life of me figure out what the point of it is, other than the irony that the same people who post it, as in this case, are generally anti Police/Military which makes it even funnier.
