Socialism doesn't control means of production, they do control unions to some degree however.

@freemo Occassionally? Funny, after WW2 Sweden was socialist for 50 years straight, with elections every 3 years, and they still win some elections, although not the last one.

@freemo That's your definition, not that I like wikipedia, but they are closer to the truth.

"Western Bloc countries which have been democratically governed by socialist parties such as Britain, France, Sweden and Western social-democracies in general, among others."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

@freemo China is communist, you are wrong about Socialism, it includes countries like Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Lets just agree to disagree.

@freemo Second thought, the lower box should have been a scene from the show "Breaking Bad", oh well, always room for improvement.

@freemo I didn't bother with the memetools, so no font outline, sorry.

@freemo Free markets are always OK, as far as I know free markets are only excluded in pure communism (which doesn't seem to exist the real world). As I mentioned, these terms have different meaning depending on media framing, also your background and culture in general.

Food for thought (if you can bare with me): Logically in a true democracy the masses will vote for a system which favors the many rather than one which favors the few, simply because the many always win when counting votes in a democracy. Also, historically, people generally vote against war when given the option to vote. The only way to prevent the mentioned from happening is to rig the system in some way. (Footnote: The word 'democracy' originates from ancient Greece.)

@freemo The difference is like comparing the term "rebel" and "terrorist", they can do exactly the same thing, like killing people, but the term is used depending on how you want to frame the reporting. Consider this, USA permanent state hates successful socialist countries because it undermines their own system and power, and they really hate it when said countries finance their socialism with natural resources like oil for example. We are talking decades of propaganda in mainstream media, CIA planing stories, so I understand if you have difficulty accepting this. It's fine, I will not continue this argument.

@freemo Both countries are social democracies. I was born in Sweden, which was social democracy for the most part the past 50 years. The difference is that we didn't have our gold reserves held and all our asserts frozen by IMF, but we did have at least one socialist PM killed in Sweden covertly by CIA (he was openly against the Vietnam war).

@freemo No, for example, there is a clear difference between Venezuela and Norway, both of these socialist countries main export is Oil, one of these socialist countries is under USA sanctions and one is not. Guess which one?

@freemo I think it depends if you mean socialist countries currently under sanctions by USA or not. Mainstream propaganda deliberately forgets to mention important facts like this.

@imvectech I tried it and noticed two issues:

1) You are using HTTPS with bad cert, there is no need for HTTPS at all as Tor hidden service provides end-to-end encryption already. Regular HTTP will be encrypted, even if the browser is too dumb to understand that and keeps warning anyway.

2) The code is blocking localhost 127.0.0.1: "Could not create paste: Please wait 10 seconds between each post." The code is blocking anyone from posting (not the same user as intended), since all ip addresses are from 127.0.0.1 (localhost) when using Tor. You should comment out that part in the code or that message will show up a lot if the service becomes popular.

ZeroBin slightly modified to work as a Tor hidden service. Try it out on the Tor network here:

"ZeroBin is a minimalist, opensource online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES."

@freemo A glaring flaw of the pasted post, the author assumes "research" is about scrutiny of published articles and results rather than researching the actual virus in a lab.

@freemo The last segment holds true for government and politicians as well.
