Democratic capitalism (capitalism + democracy) alongside a strong and efficient social welfare system is what I personally adhere to.

    Your comment is very accurate

    I hope that some people have only confused socialism with social democracy, and not actually hold such views

      Unfortunately there are a lot of socialism / communism “supporters” on this platform. They genuinely hold such views. It’s funny cause 99% of them have never lived in / have any direct connections with any former or current socialist state. Quality of life since 1989 has increased exponentially in Romania thanks to capitalism and democracy. Socialism is incompatible with democracy and freedom. That’s a fact proven over and over again throughout history.

        socialism

        noun

        so·​cial·​ism ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm

        1 : any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

        Doesn’t sound like your definition at all. What have they been smoking over at Merriam-Webster…

        Soviet systems are incompatible with democracy and freedom. “Socialism” is an extremely broad term.
