Definition of a Socialist! :D :D :D

@Nimbus MOST welcome!

@Hulule STATE directed Socialist/Communist countries are as follows: China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietman.

Russia is an authoritarian semi-presidential republic with a capitalist market based economy. However, its government heavily controls certain industries. They are a FORMER communist nation, which failed miserably.

CONSTITUTIONAL socialist countries are :Portugal, India, Algeria, and Sri Lanka.

Sweden, Norway and Finland are capitalist free market nations, with universal healthcare and VERY generous public welfare programs...and enormous taxes. They are NOT Socialist nations.

So...how is it that you "know" what I believe?

@Hulule My POINT, as you ask in such a rude way, is that you have no clue what other people KNOW . In order to KNOW that, you would have to ASK them. (You didn't bother). At the same time, you want to feel superior and pretend that YOU know more, and are the arbiter of the definition of socialism. Since you ASKED, finally...THAT is my point. That you should NOT be rude.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout It's SO sad. But there are a LOT of really stupid people HERE who believe it will HELP them!!!
