    I’m interested to know more.

    Some people only think of bad vibes of the Soviet Union when anyone talk bad about capitalism.

    In my country, we have free healthcare, free education, livable wages, free market.

    We’re not capitalist tho. A mix of socialism and capitalism.

    100% communism is bad, 100% capitalism is bad, 100% socialism is bad.

      I think what you are reffering to as “not capitalist” is called social market economy, at least that’s what it’s called in german.

      Some economists also reffer to it as Rhein Capitalism, because it’s mostly used in europe and was important to prevent west german citizens from wanting communism.

        Exactly!

        I just know it did exist.

        One good example is Germany. If the government didn’t phase out nuclear power as the citizens wanted they would have been in better place now.

        Sometimes voting and democracy isn’t ideal as it’s easy to influence people if you have enough resources.

          I disagree, voting is always right, but there’s only an ideal outcome if the population is educated about the topic.

          If people would have realised, that the true worst power source is fosile fules, we’d have cheaper electricity and better co2 rates now.

          Same problem with power in austria btw, if some missinformed teens wouldn’t have tried to be important back then we’d be maybe fully selfsufficient regaeding power now.
