Right... Because zero of the progressive/democratic socialists you're talking about have never, ever, not even once heard of or read about Scandinavian socialism. You think persons like AOC just heard about the word on the internet/Bernie rally and were like 'Sweet, dude!'?

It's interesting how societies that scream ( EQUALITY for all ) have the most inequality in that nation. Their so-called Universal healthcare is a mess, too. These societies should put FREEDOM before equality - they would get a high degree of both.'

The author was wrong about Iraq (millions dead, trauma for generations, $$$) and doesn’t deserve the privilege of walking around in public, let alone column space here

There are more people living on Manhattan Island than the entire country of Norway. They have space and a feeling of ownership that no tax policy can solve.

The Scandinavian financial system is based on high taxes and free services. It's not socialism

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

America has the largest government and a grossly overstaffed military. We are socialists already.

Evil is making rich people richer, having 80% of the population living from paycheck to paycheck and forcing groups of people to live landless and in poverty.

Socialism is about control. It's much easier to control a relatively small population like Sweden opposed to a nation with over 300 million people. It could never work in a country of our size. It can work in a small country (Iceland).

I'm a liberal now.But I don't want socialism. It's still a bad thing like communism.And even though the Republicans r heading towards communism and authoritarianism. The answer is not for the Democrats to go to socialism.We have to uphold more of a centrist idea to win elections

Yeah, just because it's existed IRL for decades doesn't mean it can be done... Do you have any idea how many thousands of thoughtful and insightful writers would kill to have the column inches you waste on this clown?

That it’s not real socialism, and if it were real it wouldn’t work?

You do not object to socialism for the rich, do you?

Arent they having like a huge debt crisis in scandanavia these days tied to this?
