    Those countries are capitalist.

    A simple read of the wiki page would clear that up for you. Amongst other things. Including that “capitalism” does not describe the same things as “socialism”.

    People really need to understand the actual consequences to arts and entrepreneurship and all kinds of things if there are not economic rewards for extra or better work.

    I think it’s childish. Just like when I, like so many others, read Ayn Rand as a child and said “Hey, yeah!”

      Exactly. This is what the person you are responding to is saying as well.

      They state that the above definition of socialism is wrong as it defines it as a from of capitalism with social features. But under the condition that this is meant he would move into these countries.

        It’s actually not even that. The Wikipedia page talks about free and mixed market in socialism.

        That’s capitalism.

        It uses the word literally.

      Yes… Please reread my last comment more slowly… particularly the first two paragraphs.

        I swear. This place is way more toxic than Reddit.

        I can’t imagine someone being so condescending there on a topic like this.

        Please read the Wikipedia article. We don’t have to agree that Wikipedia is an ultimate source of truth, but it is a pretty good article.

        I don’t think I’ll be able to communicate anything more to someone who tells me to “read more slowly”.

          You’re the one who responded to their comment without actually reading it, why are you complaining about them?
