Gen Z like 'safety capitalism.' It's a lot like what we have now but with more help for people who lose their jobs or get sick.

Gen Zers are embracing "safety capitalism" because they think the current social safety net is insufficient.

      Name me a country where this happens.

          So, just so we’re clear, Communism doesn’t work, because it hasn’t been successful.

          But Capitalism does work, even though it hasn’t been successful.

          We do have Socialist nations and they are doing better than everyone else, with the highest happiness rates, and most of the necessities covered. But to answer your question, we have no successful countries at all. The closest we have are Socialist nations.

        I don’t know, man… most developed nations are having quite a nice ride compared to the so-called communist countries.

            Does this matter? Every communist state I’ve known has failed.

            The idea may sound good in principle, but clearly humans can’t grasp it.

                A communist state is just that. A nation that adopted communism.

                I never mentioned socialism. I think socialism is okay. Or at least democratic socialism.

                I was referring to communism.

                    Thanks for the lesson. Now, what do people mean when they say that Soviet Russia and Cuba are communists?

                    I don’t think democratic socialism leads towards communism. Hasn’t Sweden implemented a form of socialism, for example?

                    My questions are not confrontational, but I’ll admit they’re rooted in my limited knowledge but also in my very real experience.

                    I come from a country that could have been a communism wonder having adopted a socialist approach in 1999, and today it’s in shambles.
