Socialism is typicly seen as left. But, no. Socialism just means the state controls the industries. If it were to use it to make people more equal, itd be left (and, no, equality is not inherantly good ffs), but thats not how it was used. Quite the opposite

Yeah corporatism is the ZOMBIE ROT

mate, there's no way socialism isn't left

It happens after a lack of vigilance.

I was giving an example not citing anything as an authority

I advocate for Helsing Capitalism

>Socialism **just means** the state controls the industries.

nice way of putting it btw

"What's Helsing Capitalism..?"

but wait, you have to adopt some strange definition of socialism that includes half of europe

Command economies are essentially over-overregulation
as I see it, economic left is more regulatory and economic right is less

Socialism is widely regarded as light communism with an acceptance of the state.

nope strange symbol guy. We are no socialists in europe

ik but so many people think you are

Most of Europe is socialist

oh, rly?

The far right equivalent pof socialism would be plutocracy... which socialism often devolves into, but I mean intentionally

🤔

then how is the US not socialist and has been since public schools and the VA is a thing?^^

not in a pure sense, but in Europe you have parties considered "right wing" that are socialist

maybe that's why you are confusing things

Our public schools in germany arent socialist btw. The competition by private schools is not impeded on by our system. In the sense that they also receive a similar funding per student from the government to put them on equal footing.

you are the one bringing up schools though. No one here was talking about schools

Right

ouch, actually living in germany

I totally understand your point, if you live in Germany though

and unlike the VA, insurance policies paid by the state are not tied to paticular doctors.

also, very ironic that you think most of Europe doesn't tend to socialism

oh they're definitely headed that direction

but they're not actually socialist yet

or any more socialist than the US.

social programs are not socialist

in fact, social programs only make sense under capitalism

sorry to interrupt for a bit, but I really wanted an answer to this..
>if a group advocates for full authoritarianism, I call that fascism. Am I wrong?

well, originaly it described a certain italian party.

later it was used to describe all nationalistic, authoritarian and antimarxist movements

i think it may require an element of nationalism

I know, specially how innacurate wikipedia is about this

Antimarxist but also anticapitalist

@Tohob I agree, but wouldn't you say that full authoritarianism inherently has nacionalism?

@.B the EU disagrees
