Right, this is why the Soviet Union managed to become one of the most powerful countries in the world in the span of a few decades, because people just sat back and relaxed. How people believe these myths about "laid back individuals" is beyond me. Will you also blame "socialism" when automation will inevitably wipe out millions of jobs and force people to live off a basic wage from the government?

Nope, Soviet Union absolutely send people to work and allowed no one to sit idle... and guess what, it had central control instead of social welfare.

Are you a ludist??? Because the fear of automation is some century old.

So you can't answer a simple question so you resort to an ad hominem. You somehow also forgot that you quoted my posts where I was critical of welfare and the Nordic countries being "socialist".

Lol this is a joke, go bug someone else.
