The Myth of Scandinavian Socialism

[Flash]

America is a socially regressive nation that still had slavery as recently as the 1860s.
We are the only developed nation in the world without universal healthcare.
Our democratic republic is swirling down the drain of history's toilet and has been replaced by a banana republic under a lawless Trump administration.

While Trump is a despicable cretin by any sane standard, it is the 63,000,000 troglodytes who voted for him who bear the greater blame.
We must first outvote them, and then neutralize them by whatever means available.
They've done NOTHING to merit any consideration.
They are absolute vermin without exception.
This forum alone illustrates that.

So you're an optimist?

It's equally ridiculous to say they were doing "great" under Chavez or Maduro.

The fact that many on the left claim it was so great shows their affinity for authoritarianism. As much as the left likes to call Trump authoritarian or fascist, none of Trump's actions have been as authoritarian as Chavez or Maduro.

"Great" in economic terms. In the same comment I said that "I don't want the system that they have in Venezuela." Even if it meant a good economy, I don't want a dictator.

Is it? Nobody honestly thinks Marxism and Democratic Socialism are the same thing.

Yes, social democracy is a more accurate description than democratic socialism which has almost no meaning and describes no country I am aware of.

I wish that's what Bernie called himself. It sounds less scary to the Boomers.

What amazes me is that not one 'socialist' here seems to want to immigrate to these utopian countries. Way easier to do that than upset the entire system in American.
Makes me wonder.

The biggest thing this forum shows, is that you're not worth the time and effort to discuss your stupidity.

And the younger generation(s) who are more sympathetic to the socialist label are only referring to social democracy. Few of them want to nationalize the major industries.
