Absolutely not true. Scandinavian countries are socialist. France is Socialist.
This is also beside the point. I was commenting on the contradiction in your opening statement, where you call for living in freedom, while dissing anyone who does not share your opinion.
PS: Republic is not a synonym of democracy, or freedom of speech. Rome was a Republic. Italy and Germany, under fascism were Republics.
