    How exactly does Germany reduce exploitation from capitalism? Is it labor laws? I would like to remind you that having social programs and laws that benefit the working class is not socialism.

      Maybe saying socialist is an overstatement i just think that our current system is a step in the right direction as there are laws in place to reduce exploitation and improve the situation for workers. It is still very flawed and i think it could be better but there are many places where it is bad, the US for example

      To a Libertarian, Germany would be too regulated and have too big of a government.

      That is why it works so well in Germany.

        Wait hold on, is the thought that being anti libertarian is the reason why Germany is successful in your view? What did Germany do to make it successful in anti capitalism like exploitation? im still waiting for someone to tell me that.

          No, it’s the thought that regulations are a necessity to have a decently functioning society that doesn’t prey on the weak, and a big government means there are more people checking up on each other which lowers the chance at corruption.

          Germany isn’t anti-capitalism. But they are a heck of a lot more socialist than a libertarian ever could imagine to function.
