Canada is more free than USA

We’d have to start resorting to Gabs services lol. I mean they have created their own browsers and stuff too. Never used them and don’t know anything about them

canada has a leftie woke CCP run government

Because a few thousand people couldn’t control themselves at the capitol now we are all going to suffer

Those countries also have some of the most defined socialist tendencies...

you can't even properly say someones gender in canada if they decide to change it

i would disagree with that. they are not socialist.

seems suss

Look at the ranking

It’s a socialist capitalist hybrid system they run

they have a big welfare state, but certainly not socialist in the Karl Marx sense.

"freedom"

Harder for big business but there’s not a ton of poor people either. It’s a trade off

so you're saying capitalism with super high tax

<:FakeNews:765741713888772107> ranking.

How a liberal Republican would run a country

i doubt you'll have any problems setting up private enterprise in northern europe. You couldn't do that in a socialist state.

Can those mix?

Germany is lucky that they have many good companies to help their economy

but something must be off there, for example there are not many large tech companies from europe, all/most are from the USA

I’m here mostly because I’m culturally conservative. I don’t want to pay equity taxes or get put on a race offenders registry, but I’m more left on a lot of economic things. There are literally no politicians in America that represent my views entirely😂

free market economy, with a high tax haigh public welfare spend..

I’m left on economic stuff too

Thought I was alone lol

Good to see some others are out there

Socialism is lame

Liberalism and social democracy are still capitalist, and uselessly progressive

<:thinking:726878987837636698> you can't have rich people if you tax the shit out of them which results in no one being rich or any incentive too getting rich

europe has a different attitude to tech investing, our companies need to prove themselves and make money before people invest, whereas in the USA they prefer to grow, get market dominance then make the money...

you can't have wealth gap if everybody is equally poor <:thinking:726878987837636698>

People shouldn’t use socialism like a blanket term. It’s more of a spectrum of policies

It’s different in different circumstances

I’m not saying it’s good or bad

Just think people should try to understand that it’s way more grey than black and white

Most things in life are shades of grey

California became hell because of socialism

“Socialism is when the government forces me to wear a mask!”

50 shades of grey??

communist then? <:troll_face:726878856585281557>

people get socialism confused with public welfare..they are different things. if you oppose public welfare and high taxes, thats fine..but its not socialism

Nah more like corruption
