- lucian1900 5y agoThe only socialist countries are China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos and arguably Venezuela and Bolivia. Don’t confuse social democracy in Europe with socialism. Or unions, for that matter.
- psychiatrist24 5y agoEurope is becoming more and more socialist. Socialist parties can be elected in democracies.
- standardUser 5y agoHaving a party in power that calls itself socialist in no way means a country is operating with a socialist system. At least not by any remotely accurate definition.
- psychiatrist24 5y agoI am not referring to parties with "socialist" in the name, I refer to actual reforms they want to introduce. In my country we still have the party that was the socialist party of socialist Germany. We also have the "social democrats" who have now decided to officially demand "democratic socialism", which is just socialism (they formerly were not socialist, but they are becoming so). We have the Green party, which thinks that we will all die soon from various environmental issues, and planning economies are the only remedy. The EU itself is regulating more and more things and gravitating towards a planning economy. One example that was discussed here recently is the introduction of rent controls in the German capital (Berlin). That is literally planning economy - they set a maximum price for housing. And they announced they want to do that in all of Germany if they win the next election.
