 It feels like the younger generation has forgotten all the bad things that come with socialism and only see the roses in it. Not sure if education became a complete shit (yes, you should have studied history in school to at least have some basic understanding of the world dynamics) or people got bored with the current ways. Hard to say, but I am sure there is no simple answer, like with anything in life. It’s all about tradeoffs and balances, nothing is absolute in life. 🫡🤔 
 They only pretend to be idiots 
 Makes life easier to swallow, I guess 😂😂😂 
 Last night I was remembering how my high school history teacher ruined our views on libertarianism or tried to from a racist anti white argument. You have to come here and see the free education and journalism they give them 👍 😆stay far!! 
 Aren't the Nordic countries socialist? In fact,  most of Europe  
 Not in a true sense of it, but to a certain extent. 
 Denmark, Sweden etc. More than ever but the social security,  free public health and transportation is pretty socialist  
 Some basic infrastructure is important for the free market to function, as long as it’s kept in check. Healthcare is great for a productive society, great healthcare is even better. 
 I was "lucky" enough to be born in Communism but, on the other side, I got tired of explaining how bad it is. In the end, no Western communists, for lack of a better term, want to move to any Communist country. 🤷  
 Facts! People never learn through mistakes of others 😭
