After reading in econemic systems and how have they been applied, I started relaising how impossible it’s to have a good true socialist country.

    It seems far more possible to have a good socialist country than it does a capitalist one

    At least it ostensibly seeks equity, whereas capitalism is inherently inequitable, and no amount of regulation can ever change that

    We’re so immersed in capitalism that we subscribe to the illusion that it’s a good system, similar to how people centuries ago would have perceived the divine right of kings

      I really don’t know what you are talking about.

      Ideals does not save the world, science and logic does.

      Just for the sake of taking you seriously, can you mention the name of 1 successful socialist country?

        I’m in the upper crust of an exploitative capitalist nation that relies on slavery, human trafficking, and genocide for the illusion of equity. Claiming that capitalist nations are saving the world is absolutely unhinged. We’re actually destroying the entire planet while we dance on the backs of many marginalized groups.

        I’m actually anarchist, but I’m just saying socialist nations at least seek equity, unlike really egregiously awful countries like Canada and the US. I could name some nations that are better than this, but I suspect you’re not going to respond in good faith and/or will merely parroting McCarthyist brainrot.

      Define “good”. If you define as equity, then yes, I agree. Nearly everyone was equally repressed in socialist countries. Realizing freedom and human potential, no. Democratic capitalism is better.

        “Democratic capitalism” is an oxymoron, as without an incredibly large number of regulations, capital will replace democracy as the primary decision maker, by design.
