I have been saying “oh believe me” because nothing you have stated is new to me, other than your lack of understanding of the difference between Socialism, Capitalism, and markets in general.

Here’s a source on rising disparity: norden.org/…/increasing-income-inequality-nordics

And another: www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/…/fulltext

And yet another: academic.oup.com/book/39667/…/339652441?redirecte…

Happy?

Yes, Capitalist companies tend to love regulations, because they protect monopoly power. An example is Disney with IP protections, they seek to maintain absolute control over their aging IP and have lobbied the government to keep their power entrenched. Another example is tax filing companies like H&R block making the tax process incredibly inefficient and difficult for the average American, just so they can sell more of their services.

Please, elaborate on your Eatwell & Wright source. Why do they call Social Democracy Socialist if it is built on Capitalist frameworks, with individual business owners rather than the economy being owned and controlled by the workers?

You cannot have individual owners of the Means of Production in a Socialist economy. Simple as.

It’s also really funny that you say I’m having a stroke as you reenact the REDRUM scene from the shining, lmao. Get help.
