they belong to the progressive camp
which is also where stuff like intersectionalism belongs
I recently read an interesting piece about how many ppl support socialism, marxism etc just as a way of rebelling
not in Europe
in my country there's only socialists and communists
in europe, you've got social democrats
who are capitalistic as fuck, but tax income to maintain welfare state
so is that socialist or capitalist
both
Yurp breaks the left-right dichotomy
social democrats are just socialists
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
nah
they have some of the best environments for businesses
but
crony capitalism is still a form of socialism
they tax income to maintain welfare state
they don't have crony cap tho
they rank top of best places to do business every year
even above the US
arguable, as all Europe is socialist
Portugal
ok
i heard spain has a socialist govt currently
I live in Japan now though
damn
das lit
do you like it there
Portugal shares the government with actual communists
Japan is awesome
I'm still unemployed though, I have to fix that
do you get benefits until you find work
nope
I'm against that anyway, so I wouldn't take them even if it was a thing
nice
its sad how breakdown of the family in the west
only pushes it further towards a bigger welfare state
in asian countries, life's setbacks can be absorbed by the family
but will be interesting to see if that remains
I shocked an Aunt with this but "I oppose welfare because it is the state formalizing and instutionalizing the break down of the family, community in their commitment to take care of each other."
