Heaven on Earth? The horror!

Healthcare for all and free education! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good plans to give the poor perspective so cities will have less beggars or even none at all... Ohhhh, the horror, the horror!

True socialism (in its most "pure" form) never worked because because it would be utopian, so far one fact. But another fact is that a utopia is "too good to be true". If the Biden administration succeeds however in turning the U.S. into a socialist utopia. I would bow to them, as then they succeeded where many others have failed... If they succeed, I might as well pack my bags and consider to move to the U.S.A. if they manage to do that.

Oh, wait... NOW I see the trap door and why it horrifies them. Such a Utopia would definitely cause more mass migration to the U.S. I mean who wouldn't want to live in an Utopia? And yeah, we do know how they think about mass migration, don't you? So now we know why it's in their interest to keep the U.S. horrible and to make it even more horrible... It's finally making sense now! Yup! Definitely!

A pure democratic libertarian capitalist society doesn’t exist either. And can’t. The conservatives want to keep trying these failed systems and believe in the failed policy of trickle down economics (with a heavy dose of crony capitalism) because they are the benefactors of the welfare from the government. Once the recipients of this welfare turns to regular people, their heads explode.

Thank you. "Mixed" economics, properly applied, prevent slips towards either plutocracy or communism/state capitalism.

Pure capitalism is inevitably feudalism with oligarchy on the side. We need to be concerned with the well being of all. Not just some that we think will benevolently take care of the rest. People are corrupt and unfortunately must be democratically mandated into ethics.

Yes, pure capitalism and pure socialism are the extremes that could never work. The "perfect" solution cannot exist, however, the best result is by mixing the two ideologies together. And not to brag, but that's how a lot of European countries work out... A free market, and yet still some social safeguards, like a regulate health care, payments to unemployed and those unable to work due to medical reasons, and stuff like that.. well, that's the simplistic version, as the real thing is a lot more complicated than that, I can assure you. And also some rules about how employers treat their employees... You can't fire employees too easily in Europe, unless you have a good reason for that, well that's the simple version.

I'm not saying this system is perfect. Far from it. It has many cons, and the character limit does not allow me to start naming them, but yet in general it appears to work. "Right" (capitalism) and "Left" (socialism/communism) will never work without the other. Going too far to the right will bring trouble and left can help to keep it in control. However vice versa is also true. The same goes for progressive politics and conservatism (which have nothing to do with left or right. Leftist conservatism DOES exist).

Moderation is the key to everything.
