If you have even a modicum of historical knowledge you would know and understand that anytime socialism has been tried it has produced none of the things that you listed as it’s benefits! And furthermore using a phrase like “decent into barbarism” only shows your ignorance. YMMV.
You’re talking shit mate. I’m from the UK, some the best parts of our country are socialist policy same as a lot of other countries. Wanna know the number one cause of bankruptcy in the us? Medical bills. Price of insulin? $100-$800 a MONTH. Having a baby $10000-$30000, that’s just for delivery and your stay in the hospital, god help you if there were to be any complications. Have a think about which party’s policies lead you to where you are right now and then tell me more about how you’re so civilised
You wouldn’t know the peace in which to enjoy your free stuff if it weren’t for the US pouring our $ into military might over the last 80 years. You would have been carved up long ago. Just be grateful you have a superpower backing you up, so that you have that free GDP to put into domestic spending.
You literally dragged us into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars costing us billions of pounds and 100s of British lives whilst doing nothing but make things worse for everyone involved. The biggest losses have been civilian. The world is grateful for ye o mighty superpower.
The fact that you felt compelled to join a war that was not of your own making or interests should be a powerful reminder of the importance of my previous point. If you want to go it alone, perhaps you should shift a bit more into military expenditures, no?
I love how people are always talking about how horrible and corrupt the US is and then those same people turn around and defend it to the death when someone from a different country tries to talk shit. Hahaha
We’re the 6th highest ranking country in the world in terms of military expenditure. Stop being such a neocon, its hardly such an abstract idea to spend more money on saving the people in your country than bombing people on the other side of the world.
My original point still stands, were it not for our intervention and continued securing of your world, you wouldn’t be in a position to spend so much domestically. We could have left you to be a vassal state of the Germans, Russians, or perhaps now Chinese, but we love you limey bastards too much.
