I’ll give some examples of great implementations of socialism that drives welfare in today’s democracies, as I personally believe that socialism can’t exist without democracy, as it’s one of the core values of the concept, that’s it’s controlled by the people.

One of socialisms ultimate goals are also equality, which my examples will show.

• Free education
• UBI if you get fired
• UBI for old people
• UBI for students
• Free health care (duh)
• Free dental (normally only till age of 18 today)
• Basic insurance paid by the government

These are just the big ones that really helps to make sure that very few people are actually poor and are getting desperate because of it.

Also, it’s always important to say that socialism and capitalism are NOT mutually exclusive. It’s perfectly normal to have all these concepts from socialism in a capitalist country.

I think we can agree that a country with 100% capitalism or socialism is not the best way to go.

Socialism is not a ‘one thing’ . It’s a concept as a whole. You can have good or bad socialism and everything in between.

The world is far more nuanced than that.

Americans being afraid of socialism is proof that propaganda works. It’s literally for the people.

Well, that’s not true.

We say it because both US parties are very similar, and both of them are very right leaning compared to the rest of the western world.

It also indicates that’s there’s no democracy in the US, because there’s only really one choice.

Even the historical, biggest right wing party in Denmark would not remove any of the things you mentioned, except school lunches.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m not sure about the Galaxy store though, as it’s only available on their own hardware.

That’s because there’s more to the DMA than the 3rd party app stores. It also means that Google/Apple are not allowed to charge their 30% if an app developer uses their own payment platform.

Today a company like Spotify has to pay 30% of its subscription models to Google/Apple, it it’s bought through the app - same with Epic if the launched an app store for its games.

This is very predatory and monopolistic behavior, and that’s why it’s not illegal to do in the EU anymore. And Google opposed this because it was their biggest cash cow on Android.

Save is also going away for most thinks, so I think you’re actually a little ahead of our time with that.

Thank you so much! I was just about to list up all my services to get the right architecture, and I’ve added Portainer to my list.

This is a get-started guide I found for Portainer if anyone else is interested.

Our man is hard flexing on us mortals right now.

The Pi-Hole is mostly for my phone. Can’t really block ads in apps with uBlock.

Laptop is mostly for remote access to my other services.

Thanks for also recommending docker! I’ve read about it, but I was not sure if it would be useful here.

Hamas, the government of Palestine, is the enemy.

Yeah, if you side with the oppressor. You know that Israel starved Gaza for 3 weeks before Hamas even responded?

They literally cut off food, clean water, medical supplies for 3 fucking weeks before the first attack. People’s family were dying in the hospitals completely unnecessarily.

Ask yourself if you honestly think that anyone else would act differently. Do you honestly think that you would act different when you see your father/mother/brother/sister die because Israel blocked off all your help because of “politics”?

That’s the story that doesn’t reach the US and many places in the western world. How it all began.

And if you really want to know how Palestine has been fucked over, you’d have to go back to 1945. When you know the history, there’s no fucking way you would side with Israel.

War is always political or religious.

They always have a choice. One solution is just more profitable than the other.

If Israel would fall or weaken, that would also mean that the only country in the whole middle east, that doesn’t hate the US with all their guts, would be a weaker ally.

Funny thing, Jesus was the biggest socialist world wide. He only lost his shit for real 2 times in the bible and both were because of capitalists.

Pretty ironic for the good 'ol Republicans. Evil fuckers.

No it’s not.

I’m referring only to the fact that poor people have it much worse than rich. That’s not fun nor a joke.

Probably, but could might as well be any other 3rd world state.

Imagine that this needs to be your thought process for an election. Fucking sad.
