Incorrect - socialist and communist are entirely different things, in fact, "liberals" and "stalinism" are entirely different. You'll find Stalin was quite socially conservative, he opposed LGBTQ+ rights, women having equal standing in society, and healthcare for citizens. Further, he also essentially reignited serfdom, you'll find that the political ideological are completely different. 

Also, I'm not a liberal, you've got that wrong. So you're uneducated, brainwashed, and dumb. Good to know! :D

Post-modernism refers to questioning certain axioms and the status quo as enforced by a the socio-political environment of the era. Technically speaking, it can be progressive or conservative, but you would be right that it has typically been associated with the left due to it's following being the one to question: segregation, oppression, and general limiting of civil liberities throughout history.

Furthermore, as I've already explained, communism is an economic framework - not a social policy perspective - that would be stalinism: the two are distinct, something can be communist and not stalin-oriented, take lenin-ism for example, the two had drastically differing views of both communism and the social policy they wanted to enact, now, both were equally reprehensible - they both thought gay and trans people were deserving of essential torture - but to put them in the same boat politically speaking would be like putting Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton in the same boat because they both like capitalism. It's absurd.

I never said you were communist or marxist, it's not a black or white thing here, there are other shades between the two - though marxism isn't as extreme as you like to think it is - the actual most extreme would be anarchy, not that you will ever have the self awareness to admit that. Question: do you know about the oppression that Stalin commited against gay people? Further question: you realize I am gay and happen to be pro-lgbtqia+ rights, its makes no sense for me to endorse stalin and be of that position, your entire accusation is stupid and absurd.

No it's not - there is science which demonstrates the existence of each sexual and gender identity thoroughly. I'm not wasting such explanations on you however, I doubt you'll retain the first sentence.

You may have backed Stalin actually. The Tsars/Czars were extremely homophobic.

In most instances I'd define it as putting the means of production in the hands of the workers, abolishing private ownership of the means of production (not all private property like some people like to scaremonger), and a criticism of capitalism and it's flaws - its both a constructive economic ideology and a moral critique of capitalism if that makes sense.

Healthcare is an economic issue.  A social issue would be abortion, or immigration.  Anything primarily involving money is an economic issue.

That is literally fake news as in fraud, that paper should be sued and pay compensation to all European governments for the disinformation.

Read what it says and consider how utterly corrupt it is.

"Long waiting times" clearly will kill less people than not being able to afford to wait at all and dying on the street not even attending the hospital.

So, unless I'm missing something, which I'm not, that already was a brutal fraudulent way to prove the title true from the get-go. After that, I noticed it completely missed out noticing that with free checkups and free treatments, the poor are far more willing to go and get things diagnosed, such as cancer or cholesterol issues and therefore literally save decades of their life by changing lifestyles or undergoing chemo etc.

While high-level chemo at times isn't free because anything above the minimal level is covered under private sector, as is most of dentistry in these nations, the poor end up left with more money for such procedures due to progressive taxation having taken less from their income, proportionally.

All of this put together ends up with a huge benefit to the poor and their lifespans in said nations, as well as the lower middle class.

Economic issues are different from social issues.  Gun rights are different from taxes.  Abortion is different from spending.  Weed is different from the US debt.  By your definition, every single issue is a social issue because I can't think of a single issue that doesn't impact some member of society.  But not every issue is a social issue.

It gave real statistics of European socialized medicine and compared it to American stats. Which statistic did you think was incorrect.


Also lifespan of other nations really has to do with the fact, Americans eat McDonald's and other shit food every day, when we look at how well they are treated when they go to the hospital, they survive easier. Granted they may have a bill on their credit report, but companies usually ignore medical bills when evaluating credit, so it never needs to be paid back. I'd rather have debt than be dead like in europe

abortion is different from weed and gun rights as well.

Are they not social issues?

this logic of the issues being different is dumb.

Abortion and gun laws are both issues because they impact your wallet very little in comparison to the amount they impact society.

The issue with abortion is that taxpayers money are going to abortion clinics versus other places that might need more funding. I'm going to play devils advocate here with the belief and say this statement that some people who are born in poverty have an extremely difficult time coming back up from poverty due to their parents. This is something they can not control and a result, they should get the primary support they deserve? Funding from taxes go to these programs

Now lets say a female gets pregnant and doesn't want to have the baby, so she chooses to have an abortion. She is making a cognitive choice (expect in rare occasions which is r*** and health complications.

My issue with abortion being funded publicly is that the tax money I'm sending is being put into services where they help enable a choice versus helping people who inherited the bad things that happened to them and can't control. Abortion shouldn't be denied, but it certainly should not be the federal govt. responsibility to fix a mistake that someone maid and a result, private companies should take care of the matter
