re: #127 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

I was just discussing this with Mrs. Fish yesterday, that there is a place in modern socio-economics for both capitalism and socialism. Capitalism is great for consumer products; however, when it comes to universal services, socialism is a more appropriate model.

Correct. That’s my positoin as well. But you also have to be aware of culture. If you look at the USSR and PRC under Stalin and Mao, you were see significant evidence of ethnic minorities being mistreated by those regimes because they weren’t going along with what they wanted. I really blame the Soviets in part for why the Nazis had so many willing collaborators. Obviously, I blame the Nazis themselves more but the Soviet treatment of Ukrainians stirred up a lot of resentment.
