While this is definitely a true flow chart, the headline is misguided. Considering the only difference between the right and left when it comes to corporations is how honest they are about their policies. The right says they will do it, the left says they won’t, and then they both do exactly the same shit.
This is a flow chart from a leftist/socialist perspective
Then you have socialist governments wasting billions of the tax payer money to rescue shitty state owned companies. Look at Portugal with TAP and Efacec. Socialist party, billions of the tax payer money going down the drain. Those companies were partially or privately owned and the socialist party only rescued it to save these private owners investments.
Liberal economics would actually be telling them to go fuck themselves and give no money to them.
Socialism is defined as the working people either directly owning or democratically controlling the economy. I don’t see how that is the case in any “socialist” country at the moment (speaking of the nordic ones, Portugal, China etc)
sorry to disillusion you but your system is capitalism with a nice coat of paint over it. It’s still based on exploitation, imperialism, neo-colonialism and oil/fossil fuel money
Imma bring up an example to maybe explain it easier. North Korea calls itself the “Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea”. In their official understanding/rhetoric they have a democracy in which the administration acts in the interest of the people instead of a few bureaucratic elites. In reality it’s the other way around.
Now, if someone said “Look at what democracy does to a country!!11!”, would you not object?
They usually do this because other things depend on it, so it cannot collapse or they percieve it as such/ that that is important/ that for example workers can’t go somewhere else. They don’t see how the benefits don’t outweigh the risk.
You see that’s a fallacy I see lefts giving to justify the state literally throwing billions down the drain. That these workers won’t find anything else to do. It’s not true and I can give you a true example. Portugal has a huge bet on tourism that blew up in our face when COVID hit. The workers in the sector lost their job all at once and had to find somewhere else to work, and they did successfully. One of the challenges the sector had when returning to normally was the fact it didn’t had people wanting to work in the sector. And currently the people that are mostly immigrants.
While this is true, most left leaning people still know how economy works and why it should keep on working.
Germany is considered heavily left leaning nowadays. Especially in comparison to countries like the US.
But that doesn’t mean that Germans are suddenly borderline communist.

that’s not a left/right divide. it’s a right/further right divide. And even staunch conservatives follow (neo)liberal economics.

Hey hey hey now don’t bring us Nordic countries into this🥺

One thing is the theory, other is how it always works out.
Lmao you are literally the ‘but that’s not real socialism/communism’ meme right now 🤣

God damn that is an excellent, concise refutation of his tired point. Definitely going to borrow that argument in the future
yeah… the cognitive dissonance hurts

This comment will not go down well here, this site leans left pretty heavily and it’s easy to upset them lol
Where will you go when you realize the majority of people don’t subscribe to the right wing scam?
“Right wing scam”. Meanwhile the heavy you go on the leftism the more poverty you get. It’s not opinion, its facts.
…you say without giving a fact to base your comment.
Can you see that you’re a hypocrite?
Your comment is retatded, btw.

lol, who in their right mind considers germany as left leaning?
Yankees.
I am German. And Bernie sanders was even more konservative than us.
Probably, but considering Germany as a left-leaning country is still rich.
It sounds more like your perception of Germany is a little displaced from reality.
It for sure is not. Germany is a social democracy. One of the most advanced in Europe.
Therefore Germany is heavily left leaning.
I don’t know what you would call the left at this point… Communism?
Germany is heavily left leaning and isn’t the most voted party (SPD) leftist?
