In regards to health care, an alleged public option is socialism or communism in a way. Steven Crowder used a good analogy. Imagine 4 gas stations. One independent and three owned by a guy with a lot of money. Now, imagine the three gas stations lowering the price of gas so they lose money. Eventually, the one gas station goes under. After that, the other three, which is owned by the one guy, can then raise the price of gas to as high as they want after eliminating and bankrupting the competition. In conclusion, after that, you get a monopoly or a cartel.
Dear arnold, What do you think is the difference between socialism and communism?
In theory, communism is worse than socialism. In reality, the more important factor would be the mechanisms behind whatever vehicle is being used be it socialism, communism, etc, these vehicles have not been isolated, alone, natural. Like Covid, these vehicles were engineered by globalism as a scam on humanity. Too often, people argue for the theory of communism instead of facing the reality of the demons who try to force communism and other things onto people.
People can justify the theory of communism, especially within the realm of collectivism, as seen more so in Asia, over individualism, as seen more so in Europe, generally speaking. But communism has been a scheme used to control people. When the control freak rulers of the world try their very best to implement communism, they would generally try to make the general public follow rules which the government would not have to follow themselves.
We can talk about the similarities and the differences between communism, socialism, collectivism, etc, but we should also be careful of the people standing behind the curtains of the Wizard of Oz.
I see!
Yeah, some countries might say they got socialism but may in fact have bits and pieces of capitalism.
