Thats... the definition of a socialistic institute. Collective healthcare is socialistic, while for profit is capitalistic.

By your definition, the USSR was capitalistic, since they paid for everything through their taxes.

Tax system in USSR was very different to capitalist states.

Which doesn't change the fact that you are still talking about socialistic healthcare... The USSR tax system could have been based in oranges, and that wouldn't change what is and is not socialistic healthcare.

Did you really wait 2 months to necro a thread, to argue a random point which doesn't help your argument?

Again, the tax system in the USSR was different. You didn't get a service for free because you paid taxes, you actually didn't pay them. You got a service for free because it was owned by the government and you were owned by the government. It's like your office job provides you with a chair, the same way your mine job in the USSR provided you with healthcare.

As for necro, notifications in Lemmy are fucked.

Are you saying you responded to this message 2 months ago, and no notification was sent until now?

[–] Aux@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah. Weird as fuck.

I have that happen on Liftoff. I assumed it was the app itself but it could just be how stuff is cross shared across instances and what not. It can be stupidly slow.
