I am not trying to be dramatic or undermine the true horrors of socialism, it is just how it feels.&#xA;&#xA;&#34;When calling the current government socialist, there are those who will laugh at the idea this because it doesn&#39;t meet the true definition of socialism, you know, whereby the state owns industry, blah blah blah.&#xA;&#xA;This is why I call it the &#34;New Face of Socialism&#34; as the outcome is the same. If you are a business owner in the UK you are essentially a slave to government as high taxes and massive regulation reflect the same principles of socialism-wealth redistribution and centralised control of society. &#xA;&#xA;If it helps, we can call it&#34;Bureaucratic Socialism&#34; or &#34;Backdoor Socialism&#34;...whatever you need to justify you voted in a bunch of commies. Life is so much easier if you admit you fucked up.&#xA;&#xA;This is a hill I will die on...reject them all!&#34;</html></oembed>
