Dansariki: You said "New Russia" in the context of socialism. Russia was communist - extremely left wing and extremely authoritarian. Socialism is merely left wing and fairly neutral on thr authoritarian/libertarian scale.


Nero: It's not a "far-fetched fantasy", it's downright impossible. They're absolutely opposite views economically. You cannot merge them.

That's just contradicting everything in the economy.

Nooo, it could work. I only want a bit of communism in a few areas.

Capitalism and communism are opposing viewpoints.. one is very right wing, one is very left wing, respectively. One believes in a completely free market, one in a completely state-owned market..

Most markets should be free, but some should be state owned.

That's somewhere on the wide spectrum between hard left wing and hard right wing. It's not really a "bit of communism in some areas".

Mind you that one will prosper, the other will completely fail.

I think.

Unfortunately, even attempting to merge the two will be disastrous. Before it's even tried out.

Good luck with that.

One half of me agrees with that, the other doesn't...

I mean, like, paying for extra just increases corruption, and a bigger hole between the rich and poor.

However, if everyone is submitted to the same health care, then some people that need that extra help will die....

Well, the people that need extra help should get it...I don't think the rich should get better treatment though
