Imagine how fast the US turned to shit, that China is now more trustworthy. Or at least, much more stable.

Their biggest and saddest win, is making truth debatable.


My thought would be the opposite.
If you need to scale down, you do not look at the one employee who knows the most about your company.
If you scale up, you need the guy/girl who knows the most about the departments, because you need structure. Otherwise all the specialists only have eyes for their own field.
I’ve seen more “general employees” being promoted than “specialised employees”.


European countries have capitalism, and it’s not an excuse to have education for all.


But it sure does help. At least to also get out of your echo bubble and see new ways of thinking.


Depends on who you are.
If you often discover music and searches for songs, your method is not the experience prefered.
If you always listen to your playlists, and sometimes want to add a new one, yours work great.
What everyone really wants, is a player that autodownloads and plays while downloadning, like with torrents, and then gives the option to auto remove after x days or keep forever. Everything happening under the hood.
Otherwise I’m afraid it will keep away most people.


The Austrian military didn’t just adopt LibreOffice; they actually contributed back to it. Over five person-years of development work went into adding features they needed. Those improvements are now available to everyone using LibreOffice, which is pretty cool.
The open source dream!


Great points.
I think when we talk about these ideologies, the point is often being made, that it’s not true socialism for example.
Which I personally think is not that relevant to go into, because we dont have true democracy either. Nor true capitalism.
It is also hard to have internet debates about them, because the topics are so complex to understand when they are in use.
Even to understand how the Nordics work and why, cant be explained with all the characters available in a post.


So it could be called socialist if you look at certain aspects of the economical foundation.
They DO have no ownership of private companies, which is socialist thinking, but they also dont have private ownership for the people, which is not.
But North Korea is special. They call themselves socialist, but in reality they invented their own ideology called Songun. It means “military first”.
The “spirit of the law” in socialism is also for the country to work for the people. But you can argue with Songun, every single thing is done for military power. Not power to the people - nor for the people.
So yeah, North Korea calls themselves socialist (because they like to be friends with China), but they act like a authoritarin military dictatorship - or Songun.


That’s like saying “which of the orange and the apple is not a fruit.”
But to try to answer what I think you are asking, North Korea is a communist dicatorship controlled by one family. Kind of how Kings worked in the old days.
And China is an authoritarian one-party state.
North Korea does not have a privatized sector. China does. North Korea is not socialist by definition, and China is.


Putting China and North Korea in the same booth shows how little you know about this subject.


Communism without a dictatorship is yet to be seen at large scale. That would be interesting to compare.
And you also dont have to go ALL IN on communism. You can absoluty choose sectors, that will never be private, and have private sectors that will be regulated by giving the workers more power and owners much less.
There’s so many nuances.


They tried so hard to make socialism a bad word. And non of their voters know one single thing of what it is.
Spoiler: it’s from the countries doing better than you.


Nice change. But it’s probably because of the EU making it mandatory more than Sony being good guys.


Well, I think it’s too nice to call them facists only. It’s literally a dictatorship.


You can convince people of everything, if it depends on you having more sex or not.


They need us (our money). We dont even like them enough to not replace them the second they go away.


Fire, electricty, gravity and magnetism is magic, and you cant convince me otherwise.


That’s true, every movie takes on something different.
But then again there’s Pocahontas that came out at the same time that tackles racism and the importance of nature.
/s right? Because it’s obvious people wont age verify for porn, when there’s a thousands alternatives.
