Socialism goes completely against the whole idea of entrepreneurship, which HN, I thought, is all about.
As someone who lived in a socialist sh*thole, I absolutely don't get why young people are suddenly favoring this horrible ideology.
- nabla9 8y agoSocialism is not a single thing. And "socialist" does not always mean someone advocating government ownership as it did historically. In fact, in the western Europe social democrats were in the 60-70's the mortal enemies of the Marxists and communists. They competed for the same crowd but others were more moderate and democratic. Nordic model was basically the result of social democrats getting almost all what they wanted. Socialism today can be as mild as mixed economy, social interventions to promote social justice in market economy, private ownership with unions and soke worker representation. (btw. Unions in Europe work completely differently form how they work in US) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy
