>That's what socialist policies gets you, permits from the state to do anything

Donation regulation is not a 'socialist' policy, and at a stretch, you could only say it's simply a policy which happens to be implemented in a capitalist social democratic country, in this case Finland.

Even more incredible are the lengths certain types of folks will go to defend these policies even when faced with very real examples of the negative consequences of ceding liberty in return for the state to "take care of you".

It's almost like different people have different ideas of what are acceptable negatives to trade-off for various positive benefits.

Don't worry, people do the same thing to defend the capitalist dystopia we currently live in.

To be fair, all systems can be (and are) criticised.

I agree. Given this truth, complaining that people complain about your system of choice seems pretty silly

The original comment read as if you blamed socialism.

If you did, you got rightly called out. If you didn’t, then I don’t understand what you meant.

How is blaming socialism a bad thing? Has humanity learned nothing from the failure of socialism throughout the 19th and 20th centuries?
