I've heard intelligent people who understand the difference between a Nordic model and Venezuela.
I mean, most of the problems in South America has been from USA imperialism, not socialised medicine.

Yeah we know you guys love to point to the countries that contain mostly white people when you talk about this stuff. I guess I would too if the other option was utter shitholes. The cherry picking makes sense and I like the intelligent people jab, cuz obviously now anyone who disagees with you must be stupid. Nice try my friend 👆
Originally posted by SurturChile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela all have white populations...in fact, I think almost every South American country has a large proportion of white people, yet experienced violent revolutions and financial difficulty due to debt and/or famine; Nordic countries have non-white populations too, although I see your angle here.

You spin as you tell others not to spin. I don't think you want to compare white populations, but I never said the Nordics only have whites, just the vast majority.
I too would cherry pick the best and ignore the worst.
Capitalism is better than Socialism though, it always will be. I'm not saying you said otherwise, I just felt like stating this fact.
Ironically both will end up with the same problems. The people at the top siphon everything they can for themselves and leave those below them with very little, just through different methods. The only reason pure capitalism is a little better is because it would take a little longer to fail and collapse than pure socialism.

Maybe,but if we had to pick one its capitalism
Why focus solely on one? They are symbiotic and feed off each other. In particular our current system has large flaws because we've allowed capitalism to dictate governance that is currently benefiting the smallest amount of ppl at the top.
