None of the scandinavian countries are truly socialist countries despite leftists (like loudmouth ignorant Joy Behar) always wanting to use them as "examples" of "successful socialism."https://fee.org/articles/the-myth-of-scandinavian-socialism/
Just a small snippet taken from the informative article:
In response to Americans frequently referring to his country as socialist, the Prime Minister of Denmark recently remarked in a lecture...
[b]I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.

These retards do not understand that is what Socialism is: the government owns the means of production, and the workers reap the benefits.
They have been brainwashed into thinking that concentrating the means of production in the hands of a few individuals and funneling the benefits from the bottom to the top while the workers fight over crumbs is freedom.

I thought about this a lot.
What's the difference between classic socialism, a corporatocracy, an oligarchy, or a nobility?
Nothing, really. It's still a few people controlling resources and the means of production.
No Adam, retards are people who think putting a nice-sounding word in front of the word 'socialism' changes the overall meaning of the word... it doesn't.
It's like saying putting the word 'democratic' in front of the word 'murder' somehow makes it more appealing and/or changes the overall meaning of the word.
Let's say the majority of the US population decided that conservatives should all be killed-off because they are all a threat to the world because they don't freak out over climate change hysteria nonsense the way brainwashed lefties do. Well, at least that would be "democratic" mass murder, yes? But it still doesn't change the fact it's immoral and disgusting.
Fortunately, we live in a constitutional republic instead of a pure democracy so every individual is entitled to inherent inalienable God-given rights (the foremost of which is the basic right to life).
Putting the word "democratic" in front of the word 'socialism' doesn't change the overall meaning of the word 'socialism' anymore than putting the word 'national' in front of 'socialism' changes it.

That’s very true, but I would say at least under Capitalism we have a chance to fight back.Where as under socialism, the government already have their whole arm up our asses, and getting ready to insert the second one.
