| ToxicJosh said: All countries use money, doesn't that make them all capitalist? Your argument that tax = socialism makes about as much sense as my previous statement. There are some services that have to be provided by the state, and therefore need to be funded by revenue gained through taxation. This is no more socialist in that it uses taxation as it capitalist because it involves money. You clearly don't know what you're talking about and are harping on about how socialist the government is because they won't let you sell guns to toddlers or whatever it is teabaggers are so pissed about. Again you missed the point by a country mile regarding what socialism is. It is about OWNERSHIP. |
I'm not sure that holds true nowadays, though I agree with your former point. It's reasonable a state with very low taxes but where every economic service is owned by itself is still pretty socialist. But a state where regulation is so intrusive there's absolutely no way for the individual initiative has no flexibility and no way to actually be any different among themselves also fits the bill. Or doesn't it?
