Yes, the other door that leads to oppression, totalitarianism, single party rule, secret police, economic misery, etc. At least the flags are red or whatever.
Universal healthcare is not socialism. It’s social policy. Lots of non socialist countries have universal healthcare. Many even with competition between healthcare providers and various insurance companies.
Universal healthcare is about as socialist as state run schools.
You talking about the national socialists? They where about as socialist as the democratic peoples republic of north Korea is democratic and of the people, e.g in name only.
Funny you accuse me of being American, was the same thought that had me wondering if you were referring to the Nazis. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen that sentiment. But yes, as a fellow European I’m not blind at all to the communist experiment and it’s effect on the whole of eastern europe. Very important to be aware about it so we don’t repeat the same mistakes in the creation of a better system than the current capital-death-cult.
But like it’s not common knowledge you’re slinging around here, it’s kinda weird this energy you’re bringing of antogonising just because other people might now have the same information you do.
Also also, no one exampl can be the platonic ideal of something. And it’s a way better example than what I originally thought, but u know, if you think about it’s very obvious that every instance of socialist thinking implemented wouldn’t necessarily turn out as the socialist unity party. Otherwise it would be the only example one could point to, and even there it’s not like the law of gravity, nothing stopping people from going “yeah that parts not constructive turns out let’s not do that”.

Universal Health Care is socialism. Without it you are not a first world country.

Thank god none of those things could ever happen under good old US democracy!
Socialism is by definition democratic
Haha, yes the real existing socialism in the German Democratic Republic was a shining beacon of democracy. /s
You are delusional.

Pretty much any party that called itself socialist or communist in Europe east of the iron curtain.
Of course Americans have never heard of those.
