Smallc Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Posted November 12, 2008 Face it socialism sucks. Some things in Alberta are socialist. I just pointed it out. Many things are also regulated capitalism (there is no true capitalism, it would be a disaster). The trick is balancing them. It doesn't really do anything to say one suck and one is awesome when in reality they both suck on their own. Quote

They seem to be doing fine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_count...rcentage_of_GDP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Min...leum_and_Energy Face it that both left and right can suck. It all depends on the people managing the nation. Quote
