[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel is a socialist country. [/quote]

It is actually a parliamentary democracy operating on a free-market model after some early experimentation with socialist economic policies which failed dramatically in the 1970s.  It now has a highly developed economy with a strong private sector, features not present in socialist states.  Having some social welfare programs and some people living in kibbutzim does not make a country "socialist"; the defining characteristic is whether the means of production are owned only by the state.

Socialism believes the government makes better decisions for people than people can make for themselves, the fundamental approach taken by Communist nations behind the Iron Curtain which all had extremely feeble economies - inefficient, unmotivated to innovate, and incapable of actually providing what people want.

This is capitalist propaganda. No socialist project has been allowed to exist without interference from the West. We literally will not allow them to succeed. Ask yourself why that is. If socialism is such a bad system, why do we have to interfere so heavily to make them fail?

And the idea that socialism believes government makes better decisions than people can make for themselves is ridiculous on it's face. Under socialism, the government literally IS the people. Our current system is IMPOSED on us. We spend huge chunks of our lives at work, in an entirely undemocratic environment where everything is imposed on us. Everything you accuse socialism of being is true of our capitalist system. [/quote]
