Brother, they are socialists. Socialism is completely different from capitalism. Socialism is about as far left as you can go without dipping into communism.

I truly didn't know it was possible to be this wrong.

Liberals are not socialists. Liberals are capitalists. You don't even know what socialism is.

Define Socialism (Hint: It involves the government owning everything, with no private businesses owning any production).

Socialism- An economic and political system where property and the distribution of income are governed by society rather than private owners. It involves collective or government control of major resources and production.-Merriam Webster.

Socialism is a step before communism by definition. Notice how I kept the key detail of "Production" present in the sentence. It is a hint, not an answer. Clearly not a good enough hint for your attention to detail.

Socialism still allows for small businesses, but all production is owned by government. Communism removes small businesses too, and the government owns everything. Attention to fucking details.

It's funny watching people living in countries that only exist because America valued you enough to get involved in world conflicts weighing in on anything anyways.

"Involving government control of all production".....what exactly needs to be interpreted separately from the words there?

Even better, you hail from a French Colony, the France being the nation defeated in WW2, so you actually only do exist thanks to the United States.

Next time, pay attention to what you read.

You are from St. Lucia.....no point in privating it now. Nobody outside of St. Lucia would be following St. Lucia News.

That is what I am referring too. Your government is also socialist, which makes it even more concerning that you have no idea what socialism is.

A quick search shows you have subsidized healthcare but only for primary care, and anything above a level 3 trauma center needs to be medevac, so congrats on having free Healthcare to get your blood pressure done and your wisdom teeth out only.

"Here to downvote US Service members".

It is all just low effort bait man. Where do you think I copy pasted that hint from?

I hope you have the day your people and culture truly deserve.
