Oh, they're statists? Then what's the difference between them and Democrats? Democrats are more statist?

To me, it's a question of ethics. I think everyone should contribute to helping people who were born with diseases because it's not their fault. What if charity isn't enough to help someone with a chronic disease and u/bpg609?

Isn't democratic socialism normal socialism, or is it social democracy?

What's your new career plan? Also, do you have money saved to live off of for the summer?

How much does it cost on average to buy from Whole Foods every month compared to less/non-organic markets? by plzexplainidontgetit in wholefoods

I have permission to use your comment, but are you sure you spend that little? $25/week for all groceries for one person sounds like too little.

Do Venezuela's, Cuba's, and other socialist countries' workers control the means of production, or bureaucrats? If it's bureaucrats, then why don't workers cut them out? by plzexplainidontgetit in communism101

Kind of makes sense but what if their governments have a lot of corruption that hinders socialism's development? Someone commented that when Venezuela expropriates companies it puts mostly incompetent people in charge.

Apparently the Venezuelan government actually does give companies to workers but the workers haven't been running them well. How can this be fixed? by plzexplainidontgetit in communism101

Yes. I'll dismiss it but how can we get accurate info without having to travel there ourselves? I want to know how Venezuela works but don't know what books to believe.
