All perfect examples of socialism. They work less, get more from their money, take care of their populations, and live all around better lives than the US.
>but they do not pay for military spending like we do, which we need
Hasn't every war since WWII (maybe even the world wars were a waste) been us fighting for other countries?
Sup Forums generally votes Republican. Republicans are socialists. Your point is invalid.
Grayson Myers
>All perfect examples of socialism.
Literally none of these countries is socialist. All are market economies with fairly robust welfare state.
Andrew Brown
Republicans aren't socialists and the examples you posted are market economies. Perfect examples of socialism include USSR, North Korea, China, Venezuela, Cuba.
scoclism is the workers ownership of the means of production the Nordic countries are capitalist countries with a big welfare state
Lucas Harris
We have the same welfare as all of Western Europe
Landon Gonzalez
Have you seen the debt these "perfect" countries, carry?
If wealth redistribution worked, there should be no debt. The US is a great example as we've implemented more socialist and communist regulations rules and laws on our economy.
Isaiah Martin
None of these countries have large numbers of nonproductive niggers to feed.
Jaxon Johnson
US has debt because people don't want to pay for their own spending.
Josiah Thomas
3/4 of the population works less or not at all. The last quater must pick up the slack from the others without getting paid extra. So yeah, I fucking hate socialism (you may venture a guess as to which group I'm in)
Carter Martin
All of the examples you gave are capitalism with high taxes.
Evan Ortiz
>>Denmark >>Sweden >>Finland >>Norway Why did you lost Nordic countries that aren't socialist? The only socialist country right now is Venezuela, and they're on the verge of collapse.
Jeremiah Watson
Republicucks would rather give all the money to the rich
Ethan Wood
We're social liberal. We have a mixed economy, which enables us to have a mostly free market with some restrictions.

Blake Martinez
All built off the back of capitalist endeavors in the sixties and seventies and currently now collapsing and at best stagnating.
Cooper Williams
Socialism means something different these days. When people speak positively about it what they're describing is not the economic system so much as the priorities in the budget. "Socialist" countries thereby mean countries that invest primarily in society (education, healthcare, labor, etc.). People get mixed up talking about two different kinds of Socialism thinking they're talking about the same thing. Socialist economies are garbage, but Socialist investment priorities are a nobrainer.
Isaiah Morgan
Because you are forced to be a normie and don't have the option to be authentic.
Lincoln Bennett
This is why.
Christian Hill
Socialism like a pure democracy works only in small communities similar to Ancient Greek city-states. 200-300 thousands of men at max. In bigger countries it simply won't work.
Jason Flores
See EPA regulations costing businesses profits, which means the federal government loses revenue to pay debt, and this is one of many, examples.
Isaiah Cox
Both the education and healthcare system in my country is fallling apart. Our Pisa scores are sinking like a rock and wait times are getting longer and longer, but its all good because we help poor "lone immigrant children".
Lucas Cooper
Consider the fact that a high corporate tax rate completely destroys small businesses, and leaves the market open for only the largest corporations who can jew lawyer their way out of paying all their taxes, thus essentially giving these corporations a monopoly over the market such that no real competition for the workforce exists. This disables the free market incentives for a pay increase given by the corporations themselves which is why America has a federal minimum wage (no nordic country has that). It is significantly harder to start new businesses and create a well adjusted job market, and Denmark is better than America for starting new businesses [1].
The corporate tax in America is 39%. In shitty "socialist" Denmark it is 22% and on the verge of being lowered again.
Lenin was a retard, why would I trust anything he said?
Jason Smith
Sup Forums is a big pile of hypocrites >they hate commies >but want a fascist dictatorship that will magically fix everything
Christopher Cooper
They aren't socialist. The means of production are almost entirely privately owned like the US. They just have heavy taxation for welfare programs.
Noah Jackson
We need to brin Videla back
Asher Wilson
Don't forget the edgy retarded comments like this one
William Clark
Socialism is rejection of Christianity and really any religion and is a far left winged ideology that forces the middle class and the wealthy to redistribute their wealth, a stepping stone to communism fuck you cuck.
Juan Myers
user, three out of the four countries you've listed are bankrupt. How can you hope to advance an argument in favour of socialism using these examples?
(Norway isn't bankrupt because they've sensibly invested their oil revenues over the decades.)
Jason Stewart
this is why
Matthew Hall
No economic growth.
Dominic Ross
The free market helps those who want to help themselves.

I honestly don't know the difference between socialist and communist

The Nordic Socialism is a meme, even we are more Socialist than they are.
Evan Clark
usually the rich people are the ones that create the jobs so shut the fuck up you retarded leaf. Just heard your govt gave 10m to a fucking terrorist for being in Guantanamo for throwing a grenade killing a delta force medic and blinding another solider. FUCK YOU AND YOUR TERRORIST FRENCHKEKED COUNTRY.

You don't have a right to my property. Taxation is theft.
Hudson Baker
Not true, Switzerland + Germany have Dagpenge only not bistand like we have. We also have incredible high Vat tax + car taxes. Swedes come to Denmark to drink cuz its cheaper due to tax
Brayden Nguyen
>Why do you guys hate socialism? >>Denmark >>Sweden >>Finland >>Norway
Homogeneous societies (or used to be). Look at Sweden now. It's welfare situation is exploding with recipients, while the contributors have rapidly declined.
Social constructs, or at least the popular societal norms, have also shifted left in ideology, preventing more conservative viewpoints from being popular. These simultaneous shifts create an entitlement mentality and a dwindling supply of resources to fund these ideological institutions.
In other words: Socialism works in a homogeneously ethnic civilization pillared on familial values and rooted in a strong work ethic.
Socialism fails in a multicultural civilization where self-important endeavors are the order of the day. People go "John Galt" overnight, and the system collapses on itself.
Nicholas Brown
How much in taxes do the nordic countries pay?
Ian Green
38% income tax + 8% AMbidrag + 4% Retirement + other small fee's
Then we have VAT tax which is 25% of the price on everything we buy and the endless of other small hidden fee's, regulations and taxes.
It's a retarded amount of money.
Xavier Butler
Americans and many westerners tend to equate social programs w/ socialism. This is largely due to The Republicans trying to associate cold war heat against socialism/communism w/ the American lef. This worked well until recently where it backfired and lefties think they're socialists because they wanna get paid a lot to serve coffee, they don't know that's not how socialism works. Socialism is when the workers control the means of production. Capitalism allows for both private and co-op ownership. The main difference being private ownership isn't theoretically allowed in a socialist society. So, technically, you could have a Capitalist country with massive social programs and benefits and a socialist society where there are no social benefits. People don't realize this. Equating social programs w/ Socialism is a fairly recent phenomena.
Isaac Fisher
we don't hate socialism, if it benefits the workers, like i don't know, national socialism ?
Brayden Reed
good post leaf
Carter Morales
Nah, in those 4 countries it's legal to be unemployed, legal to leave, legal to own property and legal to outsource. All of these things are illegal in the perfect example of socialism: the Soviet Union.
Juan Barnes
natsoc isn't the workers controlling the means of production. If socialism was the colour purple Hitlers socialism would be Green.
Brody Myers
They don't need rights to what already belongs to them. They also can't thieve what already belongs to them.
Come up with a new argument, fags.
Jose Diaz
any system of government is shit if it is controlled by jews. every single version of socialism after nazi germany was controlled by jews and used only as a stepping stone towards communism. theres a reason why socialism appears twice on the political spectrum; one is just to the right of communism and the other is all the way on the right
Benjamin Barnes
Workers controlling the means of production is marxist socialism.
Ryan Reed
No arguments, no valid point no facts...why do you bother?
John Jenkins

WOW EVERYTHING WORKS WITH TONS OF MONEY!
Logan Myers
I know but that's what 99% of people in the thread think it is. People still sprout the Hitler was a le evil seizing means of production socialist.
Asher Young

Logan Harris
That isn't socialism, retard.
James Watson
Ugh. Stop taking in the mindless commie propaganda and analyze things yourself.
Nordic countries are capitalist, more so than the US actually. The difference is that they mix socialism with it in the way of taxation, their taxation exceeds 50%, and then the money is used as a social safety net.
But it can only work in societies that are stable and homogeneous, which is why sweden is starting to cut down on it, its not sustainable if you have a sudden massive increased in population and they do not work.
Cooper Clark
I wonder how they can afford their defense budget
Jason Jones

Wyatt Campbell
why is it that they have more cancer victims?? search it up.

You're a dumb fucking that doesn't realize all those countries you listed are capitalist nations with high taxation. Neither of those nations would be successful if it was all socialist.
You fucking Bernie tards need to commit suicide.
Jonathan Morgan
>In big countries full of parasitic muds, it works out not so okay By "parasitic", do you mean the people who built the country for free/cheap?
>implying that capitalism with high taxes isn't what Americans left and right call "socialism" What we have is merely a problem of vocabulary.
Ayden Rivera
My income tax are 13% +~5% pension fees n shit And VAT is like 24% but things like food etc have 14% so everything is more or less expensive
Angel Rodriguez
I will when you can refute mine.
Oliver Hernandez
One of the most succesful examples of socialism is probably national socialism ironically. They did a complete turn around economically and their welfare programs were pretty succesful
