Tbf, many of the densest countries on that map have been socialist for a while.
Sure, if we define “socialism” as “capitalism with a minimal welfare state”
Unfortunately way too many people actually define it like that. It makes discourse really annoying sometimes.
huh? name socialist country in Europe please
I assume they’re talking about the eastern block, i.e. “they have been but aren’t anymore”. 1945-1990 is a longer time than 1990-2026.
yeah sure, but dropping such a statement and then bailing speaks volumes …
True, that’s pretty bad manners.
In which of these countries do the workers own the means of production?
