Young hell-raising, covetous smarties?
*professional Red
gnaws a socialist's head...
comrades feast on deceased arty-farties*

What can we expect from a Smartphone, NEA, Internet trained generation, that was handed just about everything it wanted, or stole it.

But I will say this about Democrat-Socialism & Communism.
It quickly reduces over population where it takes control.

5 Israel is a market-oriented, mixed-economy democracy, whereas the Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers' Party) operated a totalitarian, command-influenced fascist regime that systematically dismantled free labor unions and private economic independence while retaining private property for compliant capitalists.

Comparing the two through the lens of "socialism" relies on fundamentally different historical and economic definitions:

Israel's Economic System

• Historical Roots: Israel's early state-building was heavily influenced by socialist and labor Zionist ideals, notably through cooperative communities like Kibbutzim and the Histadrut labor federation.
• Modern Economy: Since late-20th-century neoliberal and market reforms, Israel transitioned into a largely market-oriented, high-tech, and capitalist economy.
• Current Status: Today, Israel functions as a parliamentary democracy with a mixed economy characterized by a strong private sector, private property rights, and a modern social democratic safety net.

The Nazi Party's Economic System

• The "Socialist" Label: The National Socialist German Workers' Party included "Socialist" in its name for political and populist appeal during the 1920s to attract working-class voters, not because it practiced Marxist or traditional socialism.
• Actual Economic Policy: Once in power, Adolf Hitler abolished independent trade unions, suppressed socialist and communist opposition, and privatized many state-owned banks and railways in the 1930s.
• Totalitarian Control: While the Nazi state exercised immense regulatory and directive control over private corporations—forcing them to produce for war and rearmament—it preserved private enterprise and corporate ownership rather than public or worker ownership of the means of production. It is classified by historians as a totalitarian/fascist regime rather than a socialist one.
