It's compatible with Socialism, certainly, but also with capitalism. If it was a food you could liken it to a tomato. On the face of it it's clearly vegan, yet also fits well as a topping for a burger or served alongside a steak. Both vegans and sane people have good reason to appreciate the tomato, and so it should not be solely associated with any one side. The abomination that is tofu could more happily sit primarily in the vegansphere, whilst black pudding is clearly nowhere near it.MajorMitchell wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 6:06 amThe principle that government should provide universal public health services is a socialist one, the fact that it helps a capitalist based economy achieve greater national wealth/productivity is simply additional evidence of the merit of the principle.
You might make an argument that free at the point of use health care would be more rapidly adopted by socialist systems, but that's about as far as you can go.
