When I point to Nordic countries as a good blend of socialism and capitalism, why do people think I’m referring to soviet Russia or China under Mao Zedong and shit

Because it's a matter of time

they are relatively poor, dont forget that, they are still living like kings compared to other places, and compared to 100 years ago

^ RELATIVE

Please move there

I don't want bismarkian statism in these United States

I am still a fucking capitalist. I think the government should stay out of innovation, marijuana should be legalized, gov’t shouldn’t give out certain handouts

Keep telling yourself that

all handouts are shit tbh

^

You sound exactly like Tim when he panders to his non existent left wing subscribers

if you need help ask your family, or go to church and ask for help
it also strengthens the community

^

Family and community are less likely to fuck you over than some rando banker

Socialism tries to supplant that exact thing

yup

THAT is what I was trying to get across

people used to be incentivized to help each other and that also kept families together

as soon as the gov stepped in, all our community structures started to fall apart

My family does provide for me. That’s why I think im privileged and it sucks because I can’t do shit for the poor

single moms, etc.

you get the point

Who needs a daddy when there's the state?

^

The state has the most bastards don't you know?

Look at all the black single mothers

start a charity or some shit, volunteer at a soup kitchen, do some community stuff

if you want to help people

Yeah, that’s why I think government assistance programs like that hurt more than they help. We should just shut it down and start completely from scratch

It's called charity

We need more important things like universal healthcare

say what now

>universal healthcare
I am sure as fuck not paying for some lardass

Get bent

Or smokers

i dont even know what point you are trying make anymore kaden

That's the OPPOSITE of what we're saying

Monopolies suck at everything. Why would you want one in charge of your health?

<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

first you are for government assistance, now it hurts more than helps...like what?

I want certain things but I think we should get rid of a bunch of shit
