(46,192 posts)it has come to be defined by what the "Social Democracies" in Western Europe have.
universal health care, universal anti-poverty and income stabilization programs, universal education, etc.
and think about it for a moment, aren't kids supposed to think this way?
kids are raised and provided for by others and if they are taught correctly, they are taught to share what they have with others.
it's capitalism that undermines the above lessons of childhood that we all take for granted.
if we want them to believe exclusively in laissez faire capitalism, then we should:
-teach them not to share with others.
-not provide for them as children, make them pay for everything or work for everything they get, like meals, their beds, room and board, etc.
-take advantage and make money off other children wherever they have an opportunity
