I believe in a nationalized postal service

That's a form of socialism

I was talking to @Jack H. about AOC's taxes

It’s a socialized public service

Yes

Isn't that the definition of socialism? Making an industry state-owned? lol

Like I said

@chad Socialism is when most of the government owns industry

I’ve never gotten the same definition twice

Like Venezuala is considered socialist because the state owns the entire oil industry

Yes

But anon, that's where it gets confusing

But I’m going to go off of the Internet definition and say it’s when the means of production are collectively owned

When you say industry

Do you mean ALL industry? or just some?

There's different levels of socalism

most

I believe the advocacy for compensation for blacks is socially left. I believe prejudice against whites and the push for privilege and SJW common talking points are very leftist. SJW talking points and leftist social agendas are very popular amongst the public and celebrities

Yes, it's a very complicated topic and has many different meanings

But nobody advocates for most industries to be nationalized

I don't think Liberals are advocating for compensation

It is a very widespread topic, and worryingly popular

The very extreme just advocate for a nationalist healthcare and clean energy industry

Liberals might not be, leftists are

But even then thats still a small minority

Venezuela’s problem isn’t so much socialism as it was just idiotically printing virtually unlimited money. Cuba’s more socialist than Venezuela, and while they’re still not as good as free capitalist countries, they’re a heck of a lot better off than Venezuela

Yea

Their economy is not diversified

Very true

Their entire economy was based off of oil, so when oil prices dropped so did a large portion of their gov income

That also

So they couldn't fund all the social programs they put into place

Cuba’s been stagnant, Venezuela’s catastrophically collapses

Cuba is socialist, but their life expectancy is higher than America's

When oil prices were high in the late 2000's, Venezuela was booming

@chad Was your comment of that still being a small minority directed to me?

? Nah

I think he was talking about leftists being the minority

But also when it comes to the open borders thing

I'm kind of sick of that honestly, it's a lie right wing media keep saying over and over and over again
