Socialism would be if the government told you what to produce, how much to produce, and set limits on pricing. Socialism would be if the government set up a system to ration resources, and controlled all essential industries centrally.
That would be fascism actually which is a type of socialism just with the facade of private ownership.

However at 40% of the economy in the government sector we are pretty much half way there. We also have some pretty rigorous regulations, nowhere near what they could be but still.

No, that would be communism.
Again... no.


Oh wait, much like racist or fascist, a communist or socialist just means someone you disagree with. OK got it.

just like a country cannot be saved of 40 years of communism...
socialism is communism
communism light if you prefer

rebranding of a failed experiment (communism) as something different (socialism) does not make it any less evil

The political pendulum has swung back hard in Argentina. It will swing back in Canada too. It may take a few more years of seeing things decline.

do you mean like telling Canadians they can not rent out their basement apartment on a short term basis
rather they must accept destructive irresponsible tenants for the long term & the furfure rents & ability to evict will be determine by provincial landlord / tenant boards, which are populated by the looniest of the looney left ?

Do you mean like milk marketing boards which results in millions of liters of milk being poured down the drain , so a special interests group reaps the reward of constricted supply?

wake up

yep
the timing of how long things will continue to decline is up to deadmeat Singh

I have heard Justin is preparing for a spring 2024 election. I find this difficult to understand given his polling results
The only possible rational is he knows the economy will crater in Q2/24 and into 2025

again his decisions are based on what he thinks is best for him rather than what is best for Canadians

Regulated capitalism is not socialism or communism.

sure it is comrade
you supplied the criteria
Socialism would be if the government told you what to produce, how much to produce, and set limits on pricing.
and i showed real life examples which meet your criteria

did you need examples of the govt brutally putting down peaceful opposition to convince you?

Pure capitalism is San Francisco.
do you mean the ultra left wing San Francisco which tolerated tent cities and drugged out bums taking shits in the streets
odd how all of that disgusting mess disappeared for a visit to the city by the communist China leader Xi Jinping

come on, your a hard core loonie left, where did those long suffering bums go ?
removed like like trash for appearances sake ?
do you have no compassion for the fate of the public defecators?

You don't get it at all. Once the homeless and tent appears it's far too late. It signals the end of a monopoly game where basically only the wealthy can survive and the poor can no longer.

And yet all of that disgusting mess was allowed to fester , until it all had to disappear for a visit to the city by the communist China leader Xi Jinping
That is not a city defined as pure capitalism

if the homeless and tents are able to be disappeared in two days, how can you state its far too late?
again no concern or empathy for the disappeared homeless

why would any monopoly game arrange for a visit from the head commie?
that's akin to inviting AA pledges to a college kegger party

Wealth is not always, but generally a function of the decisions one makes in life
poverty has been around since man decided some object was desirable

despite what you think you can not control human nature

the facts of the matter are capitalism and access to affordable reliable energy have dramatically reduced abject poverty

yet you would destroy this amazing and wonderful trend by conduction the failed commie experiment again


you appear capable of rhyming off slogans
your problem is credibility is based on soo much more than that

Don't believe any banana republic president is gonna fix anything. Just look at AMLO of Mexico, in bed with cartels.

Sounds like things are really fucked up there so some radical change is needed. Thats what is so fucked up about the States when Trump got in everything was great and he managed to turn it all to shit in 4 years. The border didnt get any more secure except during covid and the stock markets and job rates kept following what Obama started until Trump fucked it up. Why do some fringe Americans want things to get fucked up again? The right wing are masters of creating an illusion that things are far worse than what they are. From what Fox and Trump say America is like Argentina.

Johnny LaRue should stick to all night pajama parties. Of the 14 Governments that have ruled Argentina 10 have been Peronists, not exactly socialist.
Argentina' has been an economic basketcase with one of the worst inflation rates in the world.
And they keep printing money

nobody does inflation like the socialists do


you should be clicking coconuts together and fighting vicious pre-hasenpfeffer mammals

oh and why are the left pissing their pants about Javier Milei

Milei says he'll cut just about everything.

What's that saying?
Democracy is hard to build, easy to destroy.
Probably true with economies as well.

Just when I thought Johnny LaRue was an ultra maroon he comes back with a snappy zinger...well done.

Argentina could be a wealthy nation but the populace are risk averse. The Peronists gave generous tax cuts to their benefactors which allowed them a near monopoly on power. I still don't understand the cult of Juan and Evita Peron, there was nothing extraordinary about them. Cry for Argentina they are under the thumb of vulture capitalist Paul Singer. Milei can roar like Tarzan, Singer will still tell him to STFU.

Populism is just fizz.
