Those things exist because of taxes paid by private companies and their employees. Or perhaps you think central banks can print everyone a $1trillion note like that have in Zimbabwe and make us all super rich.
This is a porn thread but honey you literally just described what socialism is , taxing private citizens and business to provide healthcare, public transportation and infrastructure. That's LITERALLY socialism socialism is just a regulated form of capitalism, Americans both left and right think it means ownership is theft is and nationalizing all industries, which is what communism is,Read socialists don't like communists and communists HATE socialists, read a book love.
"think Scandinavia is socialist, you're deluded" Scandinavian labour parties have governed for the majority of the last 120 years their conservatives are what Americans would call hard left liberals Boris Johnson would be on the left wing of the Democratic party
Socialist policies being rejected at the ballot box? Where? Even in America public approval for public healthcare, infrastructure projects and higher taxes on the rich has approval ratings in the 50s, Boris Johnson was elected with a massive mandate last year promising massive investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, welfare reforms that while conservative compared to Corbyn are literally a variation of Socialist policy. The existence of the NHS is socialist. The only people who truly disagree with socialist policies by definiotion are libertarians and free market liberals. You can disagree with socialist policies but please UNDERSTAND WHAT SOCIALISM is first.
Back to my wank.
