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.

      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?

              Ok. Thanks. And what sources did you use to assert that? I’m not being pedantic or contrarian. It’s just that if I type “did communism improve people’s lives in the USSR and Cuba?” I don’t know if I can trust the answers (whether yes or no.)

                  Thanks, man. I’m a pursuer of the truth, even if it challenges my own deep-rooted beliefs, so this is helpful.

                  One more question: what is it with those nations being overtly oppressive of its people? Would it be a coincidence and have nothing to do with communism? Or is it that authoritarian regimes somehow like the idea to promote communism so they get the people’s support?
