I completely understand where you’re coming from and I get the same responses! South Africa is so called “democratic socialist” country and since we’ve got the whole apartheid legacy and Blatent corruption the country sort of jumps between okay and complete chaos! We have the highest wealth gap in the world it’s like two different countries just taking a quick drive

I guess with Canada the amount of wealth and population still allows for the disparity to seen smaller and you can get on okay! Since it hasn’t gone to total shit people think we’ll okay it’s working let’s keep at it

While those who have fallen into the trap are well embarrassed and keep quiet and those who aren’t are just well at least it didn’t happen to me and are dismissed for being lazy or financially reckless

Last year I had two job offers in Canada which I was seriously considering because of the raging blackouts here and when I did my cost of living calculations I was like no thank you. I’ll slum it over here lol

Also you guys strictly enforce laws that well here we don’t really give two shits about and you can get away with a lot because of well everything is a cock up lol I’m kinda used to it so in ways it can be a benefit

But back to the socialist ideals all great on paper but it cannot he run on a large scale! Socialism has its place it works great in small doses if you and your community all want to contribute to things like setting up solar power for your neighbourhood sure we all contribute to get the costs covered and we all benefit

But when I pay and someone else benefits to me it’s an inefficient use of capital and telling me I 30 cents of every dollar I earn I’m too stupid to know what to do with it

People like to Pull the oh it’s your duty it’s not! If everyone looks after themselevs there will be less people that need taking care of and we will have people with funds and free time to reach out and help those in need in a local level

Joseph Goebells would be so proud to see how well the socialist propaganda machine obliterates logic and sound thinking, maths and history
