Europe Primarily Uses the Welfare State to Fight Inequality

Some economists argue that European countries have lower inequality than the US because they distribute market income much more equally, not because of their welfare states. This is false: the welfare state beats market-income compression.

[Sarcasm] You mean under a system that requires money in order to live just giving it to people makes them more equal?! We are shocked!

Beehaw’s community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you’re nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it’s hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a “left vs right” debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
