But democratically having decisions in the office, that sounds good to me.

2021-01-02 20:55:40 UTC  

What if we prioritize education so that people can treat many of their own ailments? Obviously you can’t teach everyone to be a doctor, but a few years of medical courses would go a long way.

2021-01-02 20:55:52 UTC  

the reason my grandfather loved the navy so much was it was a fully functioning meritocracy

2021-01-02 20:56:02 UTC  

How so?

2021-01-02 20:56:14 UTC  

i mean dude... i wish i could give everyone everything. however the economic problem is that there are unlimited wants and limited resources and allocating resources based on what people don't have reduces the incentive

2021-01-02 20:56:15 UTC  

The only good hierarchy for me is the one based on how much each contributes to the society.

2021-01-02 20:56:21 UTC  

it just was, the higher ups were the best

2021-01-02 20:56:22 UTC  

i mean the government can give policies

2021-01-02 20:56:29 UTC  

to prevent homelessness

2021-01-02 20:56:40 UTC  

but to overturn the entire system to achieve that seems impractical

2021-01-02 20:56:41 UTC  

I don’t want to give everyone everything, a doctor obviously needs more and different things than a teacher, or than an artist.

2021-01-02 20:56:44 UTC  

Scarcity defined.

2021-01-02 20:56:49 UTC  

Because nobody needs everything.

2021-01-02 20:56:58 UTC  

Again, the needs of the people should be met, not their wants.

2021-01-02 20:57:33 UTC  

but, people should be allowed to strive for their wants as long as it does not deprive others of their needs

2021-01-02 20:57:45 UTC  

Yes, that’s a thing I can agree with, actually.

2021-01-02 20:58:02 UTC  

People can and should satisfy their own wants, the state should only provide what they need. Nothing else.

2021-01-02 20:58:09 UTC  

Because indeed, resources are limited.

2021-01-02 20:58:23 UTC  

social democracy somewhat does that

2021-01-02 20:58:29 UTC  

and it's a success

2021-01-02 20:58:34 UTC  

but not socialism still

2021-01-02 20:58:40 UTC  

Stalin dose sound Similar to Satan!

2021-01-02 20:58:57 UTC  

<:troll_face:726878856585281557>

2021-01-02 20:58:57 UTC  

I actually agree with social democracy, I already told you. At least they’re trying to solve the problems of capitalism while not FUCKING RIOTING

2021-01-02 20:59:15 UTC  

i'm never a advocate for violence

2021-01-02 20:59:24 UTC  

regardless if i agree with you or not

2021-01-02 20:59:41 UTC  

Yeah, violence sucks.

2021-01-02 21:00:20 UTC  

What I was thinking is that the president is a honorific leader while the parliament has the real power.

2021-01-02 21:00:48 UTC  

The parliament, which is composed of workers. But! Here’s the big twist! What if we had *gasp* political pluralism?

2021-01-02 21:01:29 UTC  

Explain 😗

2021-01-02 21:02:36 UTC  

So basically, while the official status quo would be socialist, opposition wouldn’t really be silenced. Because we need opposition to know what mistakes we do and to improve ourselves. If the opposition wins, then they can implement their own policies and can deviate from socialism. Again, the president doesn’t have any real power over the parliament, so they can peacefully transition towards whatever else, if that’s what the people chose.

2021-01-02 21:03:31 UTC  

That’s a dream because a socialist party wouldn’t win democratically due to many reasons <:KEK:726877368601411624>

2021-01-02 21:03:31 UTC  

Isn't that what the royal family kind of was?

2021-01-02 21:04:02 UTC  

Ah that sounds kinda cool. 😎 Except that the leader is not a king/queen, they’re a president.

2021-01-02 21:04:04 UTC  

Like a figure head but without actual power

2021-01-02 21:04:13 UTC  

Idk sounds useless

2021-01-02 21:04:21 UTC  

A parliamentary republic

2021-01-02 21:04:24 UTC  

Like most of Europe?

2021-01-02 21:04:31 UTC  

That is pretty much what the UK is.

2021-01-02 21:04:55 UTC  

Ah, that’s cool. 😎

2021-01-02 21:05:15 UTC  

Monarcho-socialism actually exists <:KEK:726877368601411624>
