Hi, I’m looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values. I’m looking for a country that:

  • supports wildlife protection

  • supports eco-friendly things and solar/wind energy

  • supports freedom of expression and does NOT criminalize queer people, be it trans, gay, bi, pan, intersex, asexual, etc.

  • peaceful, low crime

  • community-oriented

  • equal and just

  • very friendly towards animals, filled with animal sanctuaries and no-kill shelters

  • free education and/or healthcare (preferably education and healthcare are free/government-funded)

  • high taxes are therefore fine to me

  • compassion-oriented

  • affordable food with low unhoused rates and high employment rates

    Socialism isn’t taxation under capitalism like you seem to think it is

    I never said that.

      We need to tax the rich until there are no rich people left, only wealthy ones.

      This is what I have to go off of.

        Ah, got it. That’s oversimplified. Obviously the money needs to go to education etc, and money isn’t the only instrument of class warfare.

          I suppose, but just so we’re on the same page, you understand socialism to be when public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working class in control of the state, right?
