Socialism

10 Countries and their leaders that still use socialist ideas and principles

• Norway- Erna Solberg
• Sweden- Stefan Löfven

• China- Xi Jinping
• Vietnam- Trần Đại Quang
• India- Ram Nath Kovind
• Syria- Bashar al-Assad
• Turkmenistan- Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow
• France- Emmanuel Macron
• Ireland- Michael D. Higgins

There are many other countries who use socialist ideas and principles to organise their societies.

I think Socialism is a very fair system of organisation, because of the fact that how much people get paid depends on their contribution to society, unlike communism where everyone gets paid the same regardless of what their occupation is. I also believe that having to pay taxes is reasonable when the money goes towards things such as education, health care, defense etc. However, there are disadvantages. For example, countries that have socialist ideas/principles may have a slower economic growth.
