Ok, I've learned under both socialism and communism the government owns the means of production. As far as I have read, the difference between them apparently is that under communism the government also controls the planning and distribution of resources.
I see it as a series of increments. Bloated welfare system, uncontrolled immigration, attracts people likely to be socialists, when system fails, new population votes for more and more govt control. Interestingly socialism is reversible as it starts to fail provided the mass immigration isn't there. Most the "nordic countries" politicians love to call "socialist" or "democratic socialist" reversed many of those policies 2 decades ago. It's why Denmark will be alright for the foreseeable future but Sweden is just fucked and destined to implode.
I wonder if anyone has studied the relationship between the expansion of mass immigration policies and the expansion of welfare policies. My guess would be they grow together and feed each other.
They're surely related. When you flood a country w/ people looking for free shit then the free shit runs out... they expect the govt. to fix it. There's no level of introspection that perhaps their reliance on free shit is the problem. Only the rage that comes from it running out. This is how "la revolucion" starts. But then there's also marxist professors at colleges that charge way to much to brainwash the kids. These people are parasites that literally subsist on capitalism while advocating it's demise. Truly an ideological virus.
