It's really incredible how much the hatred for 'socialism' goes in certain circles.

  I am not hating on socialism. It has it's merits like providing healthcare if properly implemented but having excessive permits and licence is one of the facets of socialism. Socialism is not the perfect system.

    To be fair, all systems can be (and are) criticised.

      I agree. Given this truth, complaining that people complain about your system of choice seems pretty silly

    The original comment read as if you blamed socialism. If you did, you got rightly called out. If you didn’t, then I don’t understand what you meant.

      How is blaming socialism a bad thing? Has humanity learned nothing from the failure of socialism throughout the 19th and 20th centuries?

    Would you mind describing why permitting & licensing are so linked with socialist policies?

  Even more incredible are the lengths certain types of folks will go to defend these policies even when faced with very real examples of the negative consequences of ceding liberty in return for the state to "take care of you".

    Don't worry, people do the same thing to defend the capitalist dystopia we currently live in.

    It's almost like different people have different ideas of what are acceptable negatives to trade-off for various positive benefits.
