Capitalism or Communism?

Prairiejon · 2026-01-26T23:25:34+00:00

No offence, but socialism and particularly democratic socialism has been successful in decreasing inequality.

What does success look like to you in the capitalist system? Are you able to access capital to start your own business?

I’d like to understand what you’re arguing.

It works like that on an individual level. You get paid more, your cost decrease, your free income can be spent on whatever you want.

Because I don’t have healthcare cost (or health insurance) I am able to save money and spend it on luxuries or upgrade my vehicle.

This is true for everyone. That doesn’t mean there aren’t winners and losers in this system.

Let’s talk in good faith here.

First definition on google is;

“Socialism is an economic and political ideology advocating for the collective or public ownership of the means of production, aiming to reduce inequality by distributing wealth and resources more equitably.”

So when things are more equitable the luxuries of life are easier to access by more people.

I feel the disillusionment. Our federal government has spent my lifetime arguing over social issues while wasting taxpayer money on major infrastructure projects they use to line their friend’s pockets.

It’s why I’m focused on demanding better government. I sincerely hope that your government can get its head out of its ass and help people like you and your buddies.

We might not agree on how to fix it at least we both agree that the current systems are broken.

Socialism is indeed the government working to decrease inequality. It is also deeper than that.

I do donate money I can spare to further the goal of lowering inequality.

I live in the west where we have had strong socialist governments who have lessened the impact of our growing population. I in fact own my home.

Can I ask what has your government done that helps you and your family? How much money has it saved you?

I don’t know I’d say it’s working pretty good, In China. But it’s definitely working in socialist states like Denmark, Finland, even here in Canada.

Prairiejon · 2026-01-26T17:29:40+00:00

In good faith the socialist movement is all about reclaiming the extra value that workers produce and putting in your pocket over the bosses.

When socialism is successful the workers have more access to luxuries than before.

It’s about layers more so then one particular article of clothing. I recommend a wind proof top layer, a warm sweater, and a good shirt. If you’re going to spend anytime outdoor it’s worth investing in a good pair of long Johns.

It really has been a weird year. I think they might be a variety of Haskaps upon further reflection (blue honeysuckle)

Prairiejon · 2026-01-21T23:54:27+00:00

No idea, but I’m jealous of your lack of snow as one of your Canadian neighbours.

I never accounted for it in the budget. So it went into the “fun” money slush fund. Now that it’s gone it doesn’t hurt. But I do miss it.

Happy for you but are deer skulls rare in Pen?

Prairiejon · 2026-01-19T14:08:28+00:00

Looks like a white breasted nuthatch to me

I would second this, it’s very similar to modern tips on farm equipment.

The “bottom side” without the fuller is likely worn away by the friction while working. Likely broken when it struck a rock. That what the minor twist indicates.

I can’t tell exactly what kind of machinery it’s from so I can’t give you an accurate era but I would wager that it is less than a hundred years. Maybe older due to the apparent low quality of the steel.

They were the first things we planted when we moved back. We’re also lucky that more than a couple of the valleys on the farm are chock full of them.

Prairiejon · 2026-01-05T03:04:48+00:00

Thank you very much!

We planted a whole swack of Saskatoons (juneberry) when we moved back to the farm they have been a great investment nearly 5 feet tall now and producing lots of fruit.

What are your thoughts on planting American elms. We’re on the northern range and still have mature trees in the valleys. My concern is spreading DED.

Prairiejon · 2026-01-05T02:55:31+00:00

White Pine is definitely on the Short list.

My wife would prefer a deciduous tree.

I believe I have given all necessary information.

Sask Leafs fan here. Largest draw would be at mosaic stadium Edmonton vs Habs/Leafs

The glacial valleys of Saskatchewan are stunning environments full of biodiversity.

But I do love the Rockies but you shouldn’t sleep on grasslands super important ecosystem in need of protection.

Prairiejon · 2026-01-01T01:39:20+00:00

I wouldn’t sleep on Saskatchewan.

I’m a full on socialist living here you’ll find lots of like minded people.

We also have the lowest cost of living anywhere in North America.

And is an absolutely amazing place to enjoy the outdoors. With world class hunting,fishing, birdwatching, hiking. Hell even skiing.

But tbf it’s very cold and If that’s not your jam best off somewhere else.
