#5When people vote for politicians based on moral appeals instead of practical qualifications, corruption is much more likely; politicians don't have to do a good job, they just have to appear to be on the "good" side.

I dont know if you are being racist or trying to sarcastically point out racism against white people, but the first sentence in the article says "Corruption, government incompetence and policy paralysis", and Im guessing SAR doesnt have a white only govt.

Meh I'm from a nation way more socialist than the USA and we have 3x the median wealth per capita (Australia).
We have a much lower mean wealth though.

If you're one of the top 1% in America life is great. But the 99% should not be going around saying socialism sucks. That to me indicates you're gullibility and mindless support of the 1% who have waaaay too large a share of the wealth. The 99% have a lot of room to increase their wealth in America at the expense of the average by leaning a little more into socialism honestly.

Australia is not socialist, period. Its a market economy.

You’re not wrong, but I’d hardly wave Australia round as being a progressive social democracy!
