So is SG left, right or centre?

Let's take housing we all need somewhere to live.

85% live in public subsidized housing. That's more than all the communist countries.

SG got Medisave and  Medicare wonderful things that Obama fought so hard to get and USA only got recently.

You get knocked down in USA and the ambulance come, the medic will check if your credit card is broken.

SG we have wonderful hospitals and polyclinics. The best in the world.

Schools I think they like to independent these days. As long as they take taxpayer money I can them public schools.

These days it's very trendy for people to say I don't like socialism or left wing politics.

Then do apply HDB and help shorten the queue and don't take HDB grants.

That's my tax money to your HDB grant.

And don't go restructured hospitals and polyclinics shorten the queue for the rest of us.

And please don't take mrt and buses these are all left wing policies and socialism.

People that say I don't like left wing policies and socialism don't know what they are talking about.

Nobody understands how the politics here is weird. 

Every party is a left party. 

Pap. Wp is center left.

Sdp is the left left.

Can argue that Wp is more center left but then when compared to Sdp. 

Haha but economy wise pap behave like Right with Singaporean characteristics.

Let's talk about Affirmative action.

When I went to school I had to pay school fees.

But it not really school fees it was for the chalk and blackboard or something.

If it was really school fees it won't be a few dollars.

Anyway some kids didn't have to pay.

It's to give them a leg up and this is Affirmative action which I fully support.

Now every country have some form of Affirmative action for the minority except Boleh land 

Sadly they have no Affirmative action plans for the minority.

They only have Affirmative action for the majority.

[Jamesc]

It's not weird, it make sense.

I love SG politics.

I believe in public housing and schools and hospitals.

I believe in multiculturalism and multiracism and multiregion.

I love eating prata and curry and nasi lemak and one ton mee and kebabs and sushi and bimimbab and pho.

I also believe in free Enterprise economy and stock markets and wet markets and supermarkets.

I also believe in unions and collective bargaining.

And best is we don't have political parties base on race.

Our housing policy may as well be communism on steroid. 

Have you seen the price of HDB these days.

I would hardly call it communism on steroids.

But I know what you mean.

Not many know I support communism.

Not by choice obviously but the money I have to pump into my MIL 

She is a communist.

Her word is law, everything she says is true. 

No democracy, no freedom of speech, no right of reply.

She is just like that  Xi Jinping.

If not for communism on steroids BTO would also be $1m 🤣

That's more like free market with a helping hand.

With communism everything is free.

I know because my MIL is a communist.

Free car, free holiday, free food . . .

Back to hating on KH and DT.

 

[Jamesc]

I think the confusion is people don't know the difference between communism and socialism.

To most people it's the same thing.

It's NOT!

My MIL is a communist.

I am a socialist.

Communism is take everything from me and only the communist my MIL get the benefit.

Socialism is using my money to provide everyone one else in the family with a benefit. The kids, the wife and the MIL.

[Jamesc]

With socialism there is democracy and right of reply and free speech everything people in SG love.

The funny thing is the IB in MCF enjoy all this and still support Xi and CCP who deny all these good things to his people.

I also believe in freedom of religion and that's why I find US politics so funny.

God bless America and In God we trust.

Some religions don't believe in a god and some religions have thousands of gods.

So how does it work?

God bless America but which one and who's god?

If you ask me I hope it would be the god of fortune.

That's would seem to make most sense right?

So America can be successful and prosperous.

I am just not sure the founding fathers had this god in mind.
