Socialist USA

[Truth Detector]

The postal service doesn't make the US a socialist nation. That's a buffoonish argument.

I didn't say it did you waste of human flesh

the founders found socialism useful to a decent country

Priceless.

Hello evince,

do they practice capitalism there idiot?

the answer is YES fucktard

What happened to your participation in Insult-Free Week?

Maybe this is going to be more difficult than you claimed.

Finland cannot be considered to be a socialist country.

Like I said.

 

[Legion]

Do I have to have been there in order to know what the FACTS are? I am fascinated that you have been everywhere and everyplace and have met everyone whose made history yet illustrate such complete and utter ignorance to reality and facts.

I was born in Germany and have been to almost every European country. It doesn't make me an expert on anything. That I get from reading and studying. You should try it sometime instead of living in a make believe bubble.

Poor krudzu.

If she was locked in a supermarket overnight, would she think it made her an expert on nutrition?

BTW, there's no proof of any kind that she's ever been anywhere she says she's been or met anyone she claims to know, is there?

THAT.....is damned funny, and so true.

Finland

Finland has one of the highest standards of living in the world.

Like Denmark and other European countries, equality is considered one of the most important values in society. Whereas in the Netherlands, government control over the economy remains at a minimum, but a socialist welfare system remains.

The lifestyle in the Netherlands is very egalitarian and organized, where even bosses do not discipline or treat their subordinates rudely.

two questions, 1. how is it all paid for? 2. what's the income disparity between a regular citizen and a government official?

Like a child you keep saying that. And like the child you never offer a description of what you think they are. They say they are a Democratic Socialist country.

Like a child, you evidently think that Socialist = Democratic Socialist, so I speak to you on your level.

Fap on, old white man.

Fascinating how liberals always want to tout low population homogeneous white countries as their source but ignore socialist shitholes like Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela and El Salvador.

It's almost like they're ashamed of actual Socialism in action, isn't it, TD?

 

[Legion]

If Finland is not a socialist country they we can adopt everything they have without fear of being socialist.

Give it your best shot. Oh, that's right, you already have, haven't you?

They know that if they were honest about it, like Bernie, they could not win elections.

Their universal healthcare cost 7% of GDP as opposed to the US spending 15%.. and They don't invade other countries.

I suspect that you are correct, TD.

But, tell me, is it realistic to expect honesty from leftists?

Maybe you should take up residence there instead of trying to shoehorn the USA into their mold.

-chuckling-

It is becoming increasingly clear that most economies are actually a hybrid comprised of some socialist functions and some capitalist functions.

And that is how it should be.

We just have to get the balance right!

I agree education and health care should provided by the government and paid for with high taxes. Just pay it, get over it, and enjoy the benefits of having a smart and healthy populace. It only makes sense a nation of smart and healthy people is better than a nation of sick dummies. It's not rocket science. Just basic logic.

You misspelled indoctrinated populace. that's the ONLY thing public schools are anymore. Indoctrination centers.

neither of those answers my questions. do you know the answers to the questions I asked, or are those two things irrelevant to you and all you care about is healthcare costs and national aggression?

I don't think nationalism is healthy and it is not the same thing as patriotism.. I think the US is a prosperous country and should join other modern prosperous nations with universal healthcare. Education in the US is outrageously expensive.. Medical education in particular is 75% higher than in any other civilized country and their scores are as good as ours.

you are still not answering the questions.........

 

[Phantasmal]

It’s one of the lowest in the EU and far lower than the USA

In Finland, the index shows, the income of the highest-earning ten per cent was on an average 5.4 times as high as that of the lowest-earning ten per cent. Elsewhere in the European Union, the divide between the highest- and lowest-earning households was up to twice as wide.

What exactly is your question? The Scadinavian countries have a robust middle class.

You cannot become prosperous giving everything away.
