Americans who believe in Socialism, if you were given the opportunity to immigrate to a country with socialist policies, would you?

  • It is, the term for this type of system is called Social Democracy which is not a synonym for socialism, but people (Americans at least) confused and conflate the two terms to the point that they’ve become one and the same in the minds of many people who don’t really understand the terms or their origins.

  • That is objectively not socialism (any definition of socialism that begins by defining it as a form of capitalism is fundamentally confused)

    That said, I’d agree that it is a widespread misunderstanding today. And what people mean when they say socialism is usually actually social democracy (which despite sounding like the word socialism is a mixed system based on capitalism)

    Using that misunderstanding as the definition I would definitely live in many of those countries. Many have some of the highest qualities of life in the world, low rates of poverty, universal access to good healthcare and education, and good social mobility.

    E.g Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Germany

  • Define socialism. The original and technically correct definition and the colloquial modern definition are wildly different from one another.

    • iPhone users, what app do you use to browse Lemmy and what is the main reason you like it over others?

    • Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?

    Jump

  • With the exception of a fingerprint reader (which does not have a working Linux driver) I have had an exceptional experience over the last 5 years with Linux (Both Fedora, Ubuntu Gnome and Ubuntu Budgie) and a Dell XPS 9380

  • Credit scores need to go away too, but if you are unironically comparing a credit score with what China is doing, you are either extremely naive or extremely biased.

    • Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown

    Jump

  • Not for long. Netflix recently changed their rules so that regardless of the number of screens you pay for you they are going to start enforcing that you all primarily live and access netflix from the same household

    • Noob Question: If you aren't willing to deal with custom OSes like Linux (for computers) and Android Custom Roms (for phones), do you just not have any privacy at all?

  • Yes.

    • What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

  • Can you elaborate? What is the difference cloud support app and what specifically is the issue?

    • Reddit risks losing its identity in pursuit of profits

    Jump

  • I think it hasn’t ‘happened’ or ‘not happened’, I think it began losing its way and losing its identity years ago, but I think what we have seen recently is a big acceleration of that process, and for many the straw that broke the camels back was the recent changes and toxic behavior of the ceo and pr team

    I agree that saying ‘risks losing its identity’ makes it sound like it is hypothetical and in the future which is not accurate.
