What do you call a capitalist country where the government outright owns or owns majority shares in every industry that employs the majority of the population and uses profits for socialist projects like free education and zero homelessness?

never understood this obsession we have with being millionaires. People here literally believe being poor is a moral failing rather than a circumstance of the broken system we live in.
I always tell Americans I meet that my father happily pays half his income to taxes but we still have multiple homes and cars and travel wherever we want whenever we want.
during our public schooling, they really drill into our heads that "TAXES BAD" and simplify the War of Independence to be entirely about taxes. Even I fell for all this shit until I took US history in uni.
you call it extremely based
Uh, BASED?
This, and that. While I can understand a personal opposition to high taxation for the small percentage of people earning massive amounts of money, more taxes and better social spending allocation would greatly benefit the lowest 95% of income earners.
Ironically, it's almost always people who earn jack-shit, have no education, and sub-par health care who are most vehemently against social spending.
Why is this an even argument? Nobody tries to debunk that if you socialize everything you can give people jobs and shelter at least temporarily. That was never really debated. The debate is whether that’s sustainable in the long run.
A based country
Cucked country.
Is our system sustainable in the long run, user? We had a brief period of prosperity post-War--now capitalism is catching up with us, as wages and protections for the working and middle classes flounder while bourgeois profits increase.
Forget about developed countries--shit-holes like Mexico, India, and Colombia manage to provide subsidized tertiary education and health care to their citizens. While the quality of service, in either case, is nowhere comparable with what we have in the United States, at least poorfags in such countries have the option of receiving an economical education or complementary medical treatment.
Meanwhile, an ambulance ride in the United States can cost several thousand dollars--even with adequate insurance coverage.
A social-democracy in the original defenition of the word.
Its sad that polical classifications mean so little nowadays due to populists and mutt autism.
But yeah it mean you finland is a social democracy
State capitalism? China does more or less the same thing
germoney rich boy
Capitalism is not sustainable in the long run as proven by climate change. Read Capital Theory.
Economics is not everything.
Capitalism is more socially sustainable than communism.
I used to be a leftist for a long time and I never understood this until one day it hit me.
poorfag cope. this is what you say when you hope to get their money for yourself. go back to waging and maybe I'll give you a raise.

>Embarrassed
>Millionaire
Our system has not been capitalist or free market since 1929.
Extremely dumb comment for so many reasons I don’t even know where to begin tbqh
That is not even economics user. Don’t hand out that kind of credibility so easily.
Lol there are 23 Israeli billionaires and 9 million Israeli people we're almost like Norway
Here comes the burgers claiming USA is basically USSR because Pizza Hut isn't authorized to provide healthcare services
Climate change doesn't prove shit in political sciences. In commie times we had way more pollution due to inefficient heavy industry. There's nothing inherently left wing or political about ecology.
Read Das Kapital
Suck my average sized cock, faggot.
It is as long as there isn’t a lot of immigration into the country or sudden increases to the population and if there is immigration into the country, then it’s made clear that social programs are for citizens only. Sort of like how in wealthy Arab countries like Kuwait all actual Kuwaitis have easy and high-paying government and corporate jobs while also having government-subsidized programs to keep them out of poverty while nearly 100% of all the people working at fast food restaurants and doing manual labor are migrant workers who receive zero benefits and are not allowed to naturalize.
I just find it funny how that person posted about becoming a billionaire as if it was already that easy for anyone to become one.
That sounds like fascism without the nationalism
Surprising.
No capital is much freer under fascism.
This is more like China, without the CCP.
wtf finland...
No it isn't.
You get good boy points for sucking cock of your superiors than you can do what you want.
wait, contract is a union word? Oh no what will we ever do!?
>fascism
lol
your country is fascist. mass surveillance and violation of human rights by corporations (like freedom of speech) and your police is executing people like fucking Judge Dredds. and don't get me started on CIA, NSA and your military.
tl;dr you're projecting the fuck out.
italian state/government manages, directly or indirectly, almost 70% of our GDP and we're about to crash with no survivors
the "one shoe fits all" approach is dumb and dogmatic
>That sounds like fascism without the nationalism
that's an oxymoron
plus fascism does not have an established economic system
>Real Capitalism has never been tried
What is that copelord trying to say, he must realize there is no way he's becoming a billionaire as well
amazon is starting to seriously terrify me
have you seen the commercials they air on TV recently?
its 90% positive company PR, 10% trying to advertise a job/service. its bizzare.
lmfao
he has a point, it's harder in Finland to be a billionaire than in america. You know when you have to pay your workers salaries and taxes it kinda throws a wrench into that pipedream just a bit and you know that HE will get to be the best, he just needs to get the idea and then his suffering as serf will end immediately!
