yes i agree. putin and angela merkel would know among the best as they experienced it.
still people should learn the difference between social democracy and socialism as even social democrats in the US election call them self socialist which is plain wrong and adds to the confussion...
social democracy is good... socialism is bad...
also i dont get why here where i live people advertise about events like marxist economics (i live in a social democratic country) when not too far away east germany actually experienced socialism really badly. people idealize the thought that companies can be disowned to help the poor yet a lot of farmers were disowned aswell and there needs to be a reward for innovators or else we would all be workers instead of innovators...
