Edited the comment. I dont mind a lot of socialist ideas actually. I really like our consumer protection laws and especially our labour laws compared to what I hear from other countries. And boy does healthcare help, it is far from amazing but I has saved too many lives to count including mine and many of my family members.

I'm a firm believer the state and politicians should be managers serving the people. They're not leaders, they're representatives. Their job is to make sure the country develops well and the people are healthy.

However, I also don't like a lot of the more extreme ideas of socialism. As much as I hate how our own resources are harvested and then sold back to us, simply taking the companies and resources back can easily be abused and used to take away personal possessions and freedoms they have no business touching. It is a tough situation to balance.
