Now you are saying democratic socialists are not sane. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
No: again you're jumping to extremes.
Let's say total communism is a 0 and total capitalism is a 10. Communist Russia wasn't even a 0, Cuba isn't even a 0, etc. Even the most socialist countries on the planet have capitalist elements, so they'd be maybe a 2 or something.
Same thing on the other end: if America was a 10 we'd have no public roads, no police force, a fire department that shows up when your house is on fire and says "pay us half the value or you lose the whole house" (this was a thing fire departments used to do BTW), etc.
So, let's say America is maybe a 7.5 right now. The democratic socialists maybe want to take us down to like a 6.3: nothing crazy there. But
anyone who wants to take us to a 0
or a 10
is crazy: it's just not happening.
