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.

      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.

              Thanks for explaining.

              And why is it that there hasn’t been a successful adoption of this movement?

                  Well, like I said, that’s the perception I’ve had from observing nations such as Cuba, Russia and, more recently, Venezuela.

                  I’ll concede that some programs under socialism/communism benefit a lot of people. But at what cost? Failing infrastructure, brain drain, indoctrination…

                  What country under communism has experienced such improvement in quality of life?
