  2. Politics come in many flavors. ( or mixture of flavours.) There is Communist(EXTREME RIGHT), then Socialism in its pure form (which no country has-as they apply some form of exceptionalism to themselves) the rest shall suffer in the system "except us & our buddies." Russia has rich billionaires so it is not the Marx/Lenin policy of wealth spread out equally. Royalty still exists there. . There are countries that have Democratic Socialism(the Baltic countries & Denmark) & Germany has that and have a better standard of living than in the U.S. as all people pay taxes to the government and then the government doles out money to various entities as needed by the communities. Emergency services such as Forest fire protection is a gov't run operation. Hospitals are funded by the government.(be it federal or civic or both) The people got taxed and part of that "kitty" funds medical services. Free enterprize still happens, as they must pay taxes and WCB and UIC and welfare. Their donation is in the pennies as taxes befall all income earners. . Then there is Capitalism. . What the U.S. has right now is HARSH CAPITALISM. (while the rich embrace the socialism that exists in the U.S. and use it to make themselves RICHER....the average U.S. citizen is believing in Capitalism & practicing that hoping to get rich. That will never happen for them because they are in the wrong social circles. It is much more in depth than I went here. Grab a book or 20 and you will be informed. . Still, politics is just an OPINION of how things should work. Everyone who is a free thinker has their own opinion. I can live my life WITHOUT POLITICS and not miss it for a second. You do what is right "it is built in you" to aid someone in trouble or hurt. This compassion is part of socialism for you need to be a contributing part of a society for who is going to look after you when hard times come your way? A "me, me, me, only me attitude" will bite you in the asss.
