@mediocremight@teros38@LegionaryTwink The governament doing stuff is inherently socialistic because the state is a public entity and socialism is defined by social (public or collective) control over the economy
@skibidi89810@Lavader_ Its an old tradition made up for entirely irrational reasons, of the kind that only an illiterate peasant, christian, or some other medieval subhuman could have conjured up. Modern man should feel instinctive disgust at such things
@skibidi89810@Lavader_ Pretty much. Except theres good reasons. The decay of christianity, the advent of natural sciences, materialism, and the industrial revolution to name the main ones. Humanity before these things was primitive
@teros38@LegionaryTwink It was high but it wasnt anywhere near that high. The state owned large shares of strategic companies / sectors, as well as regulated most of the private sector through corporatism. Nevertheless most of the economy stayed private
@Jyrik_Goldurson@TransylvGnome On a lot of social issues like immigration and lgbt issues yeah. But overall they dont seek to radically transform society in a leftist direction. Far left would be socialism / communism
