Your "Socialism" section/forum caught my eye

Well I think we know where both of us stands. What I find hard to believe is the Forum management's attitude toward a Socialism thread. At any rate, good luck in November -- you'll need it. I'm done with this topic.
Economic policies such as socialism and capitalism can be discussed objectively without it getting political. In this day and age, everything, even a pandemic, is politicized.

Personally, I'd prefer a hybrid system like they have in Nordic countries, which are considered social democracies. They have well regulated capitalism for most things but socialism for things that are essential to our well being, such as healthcare, education, child services, and strong labor force protections.
I feel the same.

Both the USA and Russia already have regulated forms of capitalism or socialism! No country, not even China has a pure system...that's why people are so confused, they think to be a 'free market capitalistic system' you cannot of some things that are under central control of the government. That is not true for USA and for so called socialized countries.... nothing is even close to 100%

Uh, be serious. We both know that endorsing socialism is like waving a political flag. Socialism and Capitalism aren't "getting" political -- they are the essence of politics.

Hey, I thought your were "done with this topic." :ROFLMAO:

I don't agree that economics are the "essence of politics." I support capitalism, but I'm a realist and know that people are greedy and often dishonest, so we need regulations to maintain order. And most conservatives support certain types of socialism. Most people favor a hybrid system. They just don't want to admit it because "socialism" has become a dirty word in this day and age when everything is politicized.

I thought I was too, but I couldn’t stand it. As for Capitalism, or Free Enterprise, as I would refer to it, benefitting from “reasonable” regulation, you won’t get an argument from me. The most important that comes to mind is anti-trust.
 
Interesting to think that maybe the root of all geopolitical evil is amusement parks.
I'm immune, so to speak. I'm not allowed to get near the Ferris wheel or other "rides" that operate with huge magnets because my pacemaker gets out of wack from electro-interferences. Maybe that's why I'm so angelical, relatively speaking.
