  • I’ll give some examples of great implementations of socialism that drives welfare in today’s democracies, as I personally believe that socialism can’t exist without democracy, as it’s one of the core values of the concept, that’s it’s controlled by the people.

    One of socialisms ultimate goals are also equality, which my examples will show.

    • Free education
    • UBI if you get fired
    • UBI for old people
    • UBI for students
    • Free health care (duh)
    • Free dental (normally only till age of 18 today)
    • Basic insurance paid by the government

    These are just the big ones that really helps to make sure that very few people are actually poor and are getting desperate because of it.

    Also, it’s always important to say that socialism and capitalism are NOT mutually exclusive. It’s perfectly normal to have all these concepts from socialism in a capitalist country.

    I think we can agree that a country with 100% capitalism or socialism is not the best way to go.













  • That’s because there’s more to the DMA than the 3rd party app stores. It also means that Google/Apple are not allowed to charge their 30% if an app developer uses their own payment platform.

    Today a company like Spotify has to pay 30% of its subscription models to Google/Apple, it it’s bought through the app - same with Epic if the launched an app store for its games.

    This is very predatory and monopolistic behavior, and that’s why it’s not illegal to do in the EU anymore. And Google opposed this because it was their biggest cash cow on Android.
