The term "British Isles" entered the English language in the late 16th century to refer to Great Britain, Ireland and the surrounding islands. In general, the modern notion of "Britishness" evolved after the 1707 Act of Union.

In one sentence?-Socialism while sounding good on paper (maybe)-especially some of its economic attitudes-doesn’t work out irl usually plus its compliance to conformity, pseudo-religious state-enforced atheism and most of its views on personal freedoms are horrible and dangerous and pose a threat.

So xeri, imagine you can make your own business

But, unlike standard capitalism, there are more restrictions and welfare.

Good parts of socialism, having poor people not left in the dust mixed with capitalism allowing people to make businesses

Now ofc if you didn’t make restrictions and have welfare this wouldn’t work.

so companies can’t get too powerful and they have to follow strict guidelines but you can still make a business and poor peeps aren’t left out

No, under communism/socialism the state will prohibit all religion and religious institutions and wants you (as an individual) to give up your religious and spiritual views as it stands in the way of the nation, thus enforcing atheism which in itself becomes a pseudo-religion by being enforced and sponsored fanatically.

Soc/Com also doesn’t allow for personal freedom since most things, even personal interests such as sports and outdoor activities (a.k.a. hobbies) will become either state-regulated or the state will interfere in them to stamp out any and all personal beliefs that interfere and vary from their pov, since it views everything else as treason.

I don’t think I was being unclear when I said that socialism and communism are a threat towards minorities due to their high levels of compliance to conformity and peer pressure that they usually make use of which, of course, is suppressing differing pov’s and stances, including on sexuality and gender identity and surrounding issues, which thus and thereby can be highly psychologically damaging as well as physically harmful to lgbt+ individuals (especially trans*gender, etc).-The compliance to conformity also further marginalises groups that are already marginalised, like religious, ethnic, and cultural, etc. since they have lost all rights to express themselves as a minority.

The compliance to conformity is one of the most quintessential parts of communism and socialism; just remember Tetris, every little piece surrenders its individuality for ‘the greater good’, the nation comes first, then the individual.

"State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes business and commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity and where the means of production are nationalized as state-owned enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, centralized management and wage labor)." Sounds like the Soviet Union to me :D

"In their historical analysis of the Soviet Union, Marxist economists Richard D. Wolff and Stephen Resnick identify state capitalism as the dominant class system throughout the history of the Soviet Union."
