TBF Europe has been mostly capitalistic for a while now. Germany’s national identiy is like half “we build cars” and yet it’s the center of that gigantic railway cluster (which kind of sucks currently, because of the aforementioned “we build cars” identity and the capitalism).
Tbf, many of the densest countries on that map have been socialist for a while.
Sure, if we define “socialism” as “capitalism with a minimal welfare state”
In which of these countries do the workers own the means of production?
huh? name socialist country in Europe please
I assume they’re talking about the eastern block, i.e. “they have been but aren’t anymore”. 1945-1990 is a longer time than 1990-2026.
yeah sure, but dropping such a statement and then bailing speaks volumes …
True, that’s pretty bad manners. Disappointing.
