yeah not everyone is equally as good at everything

the doctrine that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.

Seems like it aims for complete social equality

You don't have the same rights or opportunities as someone with higher merit

This is the reason I watch anime.

We need a "Dont know, need more information" option in these polls.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty ignorant about certain topics.

I just don’t answer the ones I know nothing about

You don’t have to answer every one

Social programs violate private property, turning it into the property of the state. Thus being collectively owned by all and distributed as the state sees fit.

Theoretically the state could tax all your wealth and then redistribute it at will so long as it was legal.

Bernie Sanders even started in one interview he wasn't against 100% taxation

is it racist to have racial preferences for dating?

@O. paxarbolis no but it makes you shallow

@O. paxarbolis no it's a good thing

me: yes, but who tf cares, people are too scared of being called racist

I'm making the case that in practicality there is no distinction @Deleted User

Then refute what I said

karl marx wasn't a fan of social welfare

so ideologically they're completely separate

@Deleted User and state ownership is collective ownership, I already addressed this

i didn't see that explanation

What the state owns is collectively owned by all. The state under their system has the right to tax everything. Meaning that the state theoretically can or does own everything.

yeah well the means of production tax isn't a common thing in social democracies

@Deleted User I don't know their system or how it is set up

@Deleted User I'd rather not talk about that as I'm not knowledgeable enough to discuss it.

"I don't really know anything about this topic but I have strong opinions and if you disagree with me you're an idiot." Surely you realize you're setting yourself up for failure.

My argument addresses specifically social democrats, I don't know enough about their system

I already did, repeatedly and thoroughly.

But I have nothing better to do with my holiday.

Bernie Sanders is a supporter of the Nordic Model.

Bernie Sanders doesn't understand the Nordic model

You don't either though. How can you make that statement authoritatively?

Because he has made factually inaccurate statements about it

Yeah, he doesn't understand it at all. Progressive taxes are actually terrible for the economy, which is why the Nordic Model is regressive.

The theft of the socialist label and anti-rich sentiment is just populist appeal.

Norway has more business freedom than America does.

@εïз irma εïз on that I'd agree

They're very much capitalist countries that use the same welfare programs you claim would make them socialist.

So you're making contradictory statements.

No I'm not
