Honest question, why does wanting a politician to know the absolute bare minimum of civics, hence being a regular society member, is akin to a socialist democracy?
Follow up, if a civics test would be mandatory for a politician job, it should also be free to every taxpayer, period.
Because civics teaches you the reason for taxes and what the government is for. It will lead to people not being able to run on “taxes bad” platforms and will lead to some kind of centre left , welfare enabled government.
If you want socialist democracy, sure.
