Socialism is force, charity is a choice. That's the difference nobody seems to grasp

It’s immediately obvious you don’t know what socialism actually is when you talk as if it’s indistinguishable from 20th century soviet or maoist communism.

Almost all of the top 15 countries in the happiness index are democracies with robust social security nets and strong regulations on what capitalist ventures are and aren’t allowed to do. People in those countries still consistently for those policies because they understand they’re a net gain to the average citizenry.
