think of my neighbour’s rosary, worn smooth from years of use, and wonder what it felt like for her to inhabit a world where every gesture meant something more. I mimic those gestures sometimes. Not because I believe, but because I want to . It’s a form of envy for a coherence I’ve never known. Her God is a presence; mine is a question. Maybe the... See more

I think of my neighbour’s rosary, worn smooth from years of use, and wonder what it felt like for her to inhabit a world where every gesture meant something more. I mimic those gestures sometimes. Not because I believe, but because I want to. It’s a form of envy for a coherence I’ve never known. Her God is a presence; mine is a question. Maybe the ache is part of being alive. Maybe the sacred was never about certainty, but about longing well.

In reality, modern socialism often looks less like Soviet central planning and more like a robust safety net combined with democratic governance. It’s universal healthcare in Sweden, tuition-free universities in Finland, and public housing in Vienna.

Substack • Why We Never Hear About the Countries Where Socialism Works
In reality, modern socialism often looks less like Soviet central planning and more like a robust safety net combined with democratic governance. It’s universal healthcare in Sweden, tuition-free universities in Finland, and public housing in Vienna. It’s not the abolition of markets, but the idea that essential services should be protected from market failure.
That distinction matters. Because much of the West’s fear-mongering about socialism rests on outdated caricatures.
