Of course, Thatcher and Co were the ultimate socialists - the were more than happy for the public purse to pay for their upkeep in every way.. but of course that's a different story....

**coughs** that's an Entitlement! And obviously well-earned, unlike Jeb The Coal Miner who spent his days underground in filth and water busting a gut.... leaning bastard that he was....

Cheesy

close but no cigar. socialist policies don't stop capitalism from failing (did you miss the fall of communism or something??)

but rather it prevents some people from being crushed by its powerful success

.

A strange brew of words: an acknowedgement of the subject of externality, good and bad (!!almost) at once.

The depression of the 30s caused changes to be made to prevent chaotic market swings that lead to such things as multiple mass family suicide murders. Then the land was seen as too hard to work for the majority and university was made affordable- through subsidy of course- so that all civilisation could benefit.

It's all subsidised- yet fools like liberal voting abbott and howard lovers pretend mortgages don't exist... like seriously:
most wealth is inherited- if you don't invest then the river stagnates and dies.

*Sure....they're anti competitive as any subsidised job is. It wouldn't be there without the tax payer. Very damned difficult for a brainwashed collectivist to understand that I know.... (swaggy) *

Communism is Socialism on steroids. Socialism is happy to coexist with Capitalism because Capitalism acts as the provider. Communism wants a complete end to Capitalism. Private ownership is fine with Socialism, it's not under Communism.

It's exactly the other way around Johno, except the Socialists never show enough restraint,
& unfortunately always overextend their credit, continually taxing & borrowing, to a point that even
the best Capitalists can barely save their 'drunken sailor' like spendthrift asses.

Ever hear of a place called ................ EUROPE??

The results from wiki and google searches are wishy washy unsatisfying. Thanks to life goes on for providing a distinction that warrants consideration
