Churchill's democracy in Britain has social housing and social healthcare. Glad to know you'll take it though, because it looks like lot's of Americans are 'taking it', in a pretty brutal and ugly way.
FYI American police kill more people than any other country at 1100 people a year. Guess that's also 'democracy' and not, you know, just America:

- ericmay 1y agoYea still better than Communism or Socialism. I don't care about criticisms about America. They're not interesting or relevant. Democracy and markets are superior to state owned means of production. > Churchill's democracy in Britain has social housing and social healthcare. Well it had those but in the case of housing it was primarily private (as it should be) and in the case of healthcare running a healthcare system is not Communism or Socialism any more than roads are.
- _DeadFred_ 1y ago"better than state owned" "state owned is not communism or socialism" Ok then.
- ericmay 1y agoAre you really going to sit here arguing that the United Kingdom is a Communist country because they build a few houses and have a taxpayer funded healthcare program?
- _DeadFred_ 1y agoAre you really doing to pretend you didn't say socialism in the upstream comment? This is you " I'll take all this government mismanagement and markets over Communism and Socialism."
