You don't get it, they think we are barbarians for not taking care of our sick and poor; and as the richest country on earth. And they do take care of their sick and poor as they have universal health care (which they love) affordable education and living wages and pensions.

And you should know that.

And they see us more as semi slaves than they; as they all have less income inequality than we, and less government and corporate intrusion and control.

And to compare their democracies to Stalin's brutal dictatorship shows you don't even know the difference between a political system and an economic system.

Russia was a dictatorship. That is the opposite of a democracy. You don't know that?

And socialism under a dictatorship is a meaningless word. Socialism under a democracy is the peoples will.

I.e. freedon of the people to choose. You have it all mixed up.

<<You don't get it. They really don't take care of their poor and sick. Except as semi-slaves. And even that will not last. If you think they have the solution, you have learned nothing from the Soviet Empire and all the other collapsed Socialist systems of the last century.
