between local and federal gubmints
and you want federal gubmint gibs
One of those things doesn't make you a socialist but when they accumulate the more you have of them the closer you are to socialism
tis socialist tbh
I am not.
pensions arent inherently socialist
but wanting gubmint pensions is
epecially gubmint pensions for everyone
if you ere a government employee and earned a pension go nuts
open-borders is an extremist point of view
but gubmint gibs for all is socialist
There can be private pensions. But that's not what we're talking about
We're talking about mandatory government pension funded by taxes
ye thats socialist
like social security?
socialist
@ubermensch you mean communist
and the thing is
things like social security
I believe nations exist
the population growth isnt good enough to maintain socialism
"Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke."
@Lucienne d'Anwyl Is anything tax-funded that benefits the people necessarily socialist?
cause
i dont think it is
sometimes you need the government to do shit
I mean if you can hold them to account then you should
on a federal level
if you cant
There was this essay written recently, forgot the title, which essentially suggested that the people in favour of socialism will always be a coalition of those who currently do not possess that which a group of people has
you know
definitely at least for social programs
because theyre ingerently wealth redistribution
and thus socialist
in principle
not all tax funded programs are wealth redistribution
but the ones that are are inherently socialist
Biological Leninism was the title of the essay
Healthcare isnβt really wealth redistribution unless theyβre giving you money based on a disorder or some shit
