I didn’t say they did. Most if not all advanced economies are mixed market. Where you and I differ is simply on what things should be privatized and to what extent.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 8:57 pmHaving a Democratic Socialist Party in power does not mean the country is following democratic socialism.reek wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 7:51 pm
Yes and there are European countries that are also democratic socialist. When they are brought up, you argue they aren't really socialist because they still have market economies (and ignore all of their socialist policies). That would be your other definition which changes when you are talking about Europeans vs Americans. Everytime.
Edit: Oh. You actually did it again in the post above.
Britannica's definition of Democratic Socialism.
A democratic socialist typically believes in a socialist economy with a democratic rather than authoritarian government. The European countries you and kalm are referencing don't have socialist economies.Modern democratic socialists vary widely in their views of how a proper socialist economy should function, but all share the goal of abolishing capitalism rather than improving it through state regulation (as preferred by social democrats).

Pronouns are brought up 10x as much by the left lol. They’re the ones constaly mentioning (many in their e-mail sigs) what their preferred pronouns are.

Re: Culture Wars
It doesn’t. But it shouldn’t bother them when you fail to use their chosen plural pronouns, or refer to a man (pretending to be a woman) as a man, & vice versa, or instead of using the 8-10 digit acronym that seems to grow every year, just say alphabet people..

https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/l ... r-AA1bAG9MThe largest LGBTQ+ rights organization in the U.S. joined other civil rights organizations Tuesday in issuing a travel advisory for Florida, warning that newly passed laws and policies may pose risks to minorities, immigrants and gay travelers.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/r ... 3f86&ei=12Rick Scott issues travel advisory for ‘socialists,’ warning Florida is ‘openly hostile’ to them
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) issued what he described as a “formal travel advisory for socialists visiting Florida,” on Tuesday, warning that the state was “openly hostile” to socialists and their enablers.
“The state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by Socialists and others who work in the Biden Administration,” Scott, who is also the state’s former governor, said in a press release.
“Let me be clear – any attempts to spread the oppression and poverty that Socialism always brings will be rebuffed by the people of Florida,” he added. “Travelers should be aware that attempts to spread Socialism in north Florida will fail and be met with laughter and mockery….”

Does this mean that on the BDKaren list of bigotry that LGBTQ+ people are higher (i.e. more worthy of scorn and discrimination) than African Americans?

I'm sure if LGBTQ+ people would just go back to hiding that side of their of person and just pretend to be non-LGBTQ+ that BDK and his ilk would be perfectly fine with that.
