@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd Communism doesn't hate the state. Marx and Engels saw the state as a means to the end, which is Anarchical Communism. So using a slightly less-terrible system to achieve the most terrible system.
@Jewels Star Here in America if you make 200k or under working a commission-based job you get taxed at 35%. So a salesperson would still get taxed at 35% even making 25k. It's honestly really bullshit but the government looks as all commissions as bonuses.
@@WinterPains Healthcare isn't free. Health insurance is mandatory and you can choose beween public and private. If you can't afford any insurance by yourself you will still be covered by public insurance. Education on the other hand, yeah, that's free. Before anyone gets upset, this is of course SIMPLIFIED and not 100% accurate.
If I ever find out Gray has started running the country I am going to the first bank, take out a loan, build a factory, and start mass producing protest signs. “Customize your own. Ordered before 23:00, delivered tomorrow!”
I love how you say that you're taxing the hell outta everyone and all I see is 10% for lower income with a 10% sales tax. Here in Japan the defacto tax is a straight 10% for the city tax if you live in Tokyo regardless of your income and the sales tax will be raised to 10% this October (including groceries!). I love what you say because the politicians here seem to have no clue and your perspective just shows how crazy they are here.
@@AgentSmith911 that's messed up. Norway has the fifth highest oil reserves with a population about that of South Carolina. You guys should all be living like kings and queens
@@THEHamBot1 Well, we kinda are. It's not like we don't get anything back from those taxes. I'd prefer it the taxes were lower, but it covers things like health and education for everyone.
@@AgentSmith911 that's good but 70 is just mind boggling to me. Especially considering gas prices are already extremely high in Europe so even owning a boat there seems very expensive. I guess in the end the money gets around well with such a small population. It's a beautiful country, love the fjords.
@@QuasiELVIS Not really actually. The taxes are high, people are still poor and lots of cities' economies (e.g. Magnitogorsk, Norilsk, Tolyatti and so on) still depend on resource gathering from mines or manufacturing smth at factories (like cars in Tolyatti or Naberezhnye Chelny). I was actully surprised to find that there are at least 71 city (according to Russian wikipedia on city-forming enterprises) with somewhat stable economics which are considered as Monocities, not including towns with unstable socio-economic situation. So yeah corruption and bad politics can stop progress even for country that eventually got rid of the regime.(
Because social spending begets more unmotivated people which begets more slums which is used to justify more power for the ruling class to institute more social spending which begets more unmotivated people...repeat ad infinitum. It's about the ruling class gaining and keeping power.
I don’t know why, but half way through this I started thinking of Fairly Odd Parents. Do you remember whenever Timmy’s dad would go out of his way to try to ruin Dinkleburg’s life but Dinkleburg wouldn’t be affected at all?
I'm surprised they don't offer for you to build "company stores" while you're at it. You made it impossible for them to leave or object, might as well get money back for basic necessities too, lol.
Honestly this is exactly how a real world government could work; except there is no possibility for a foreign coup in this game. The statement still stands, in an economy where wealth is generated out of the ground you can work your lower class to death and tax them as such; since they don't require/have the education, health or ability to over throw the government by themselves. Reminded me of the Rules for Rulers (something like that) video by CP grey from a few years back.
The way you said “Per capita GDP is just $20,000” made it seem like that’s very low. Actually, that places your city-state in the top 60 countries by per capita GDP
Working on a farm would probably be more dangerous than working in a mine or oil field with all the safety regulations and such that would be in place.
hey Gray, I suggest you check out a game called StarSector, it's a role playing open world 2D space fleet and colony simulator, you can refit your ship with weapons and own colonies, buy low sell high, smuggle and take advantage of the solar system terrain to avoid being discovered by patrols, while you make profit from the several factions and pirates, or wage war or bounty hunt, really well made game and super fun fleet combat.
First time seeing this game. Only city building games I've played are Sim City 2000 & 3000. Really like how much choice you have on policies. I'd imagine it would will be pretty obvious what biases the developers have after a few games but regardless it looks fun.
