I referred to social democracies and not socialism. Canada and Britain are not socialist countries but social democracies and even then Canada doesn't fit it that well. Our government parties shift just as the US government shifts depending upon what party is in power. Some of our political parties are strong proponents of less government and capitalism while others are a mix. Social democracies supports the idea of a democratic welfare state which incorporates elements of both socialism and capitalism. "The fundamental difference between social democratic thought and other forms of socialism, such as orthodox Marxism, is a belief in the primacy of political action as opposed to the primacy of economic action or economic determinism". There are aspects of socialism but not pure socialism. I think that darkeyes is referring to pure socialism and it seems to be her perspective that there is no country that is a socialist country. (despite your statement about living in socialist countries..and they were?)
Canada has some controls over enterprise but is basically a free market system. We do have restrictions on certain industries and natural resources to insure that they are not completely foreign owned. We do have universal healthcare and but it does not cover all health care issues like a socialist country would.
Now, which presidency in the video showed the most inclination to Fascism?:bigrin:
You generalize and place fascism and socialism together and as I wrote, they are no where near the same. Generally, a lot of people of your political leanings tend not to distinguish between the difference. The term socialism when referring to universal healthcare is not socialism at all. There is a tendency to exaggerate.
btw...I pick Bush 2 presidency as exhibiting fascist traits. I recall someone writing about how his presidency exhibited a majority of thirteen or so fascist traits. Mind you that may have been an exaggerations like referring to universal forms of health care as socialized medicine but there certainly were fascist tendencies to that presidency.
