    My point is Sweden has some socialist programs that the U.S doesn't have.

    You cant be serious

    ..can you?

    Are you honestly trying to tell me you think Democratic socialist countries like Norway and Denmark are the same as communist countries like North Korea and Cuba?

    Aye yai yai

    Again

    Mixed economies


    In some ways, America under Trump is more socialistic than Sweden. Trump campaigned to raise the minimum wage to $10

    I know they're mixed economies, they're also democratic socialist countries. that's why its so weird that you said there's no difference between Democratic socialism and more authoritarian forms of socialism such as what we see in North Korea. There's very obvious differences.

    Trolls always want your soul,
    Zombies always want your gold,
    That's why the monkey chases the weasel.​

    We go round in a circle and suppose,
    While the secret sits in the middle and knows.

    Now let's go and show these,
    But not until Star Wars is finished,
    And Homeland Security is prepared.
    So we can target anyone on the planet.
    Invent any excuse we want,
    And send in the robots and drones.
    A twenty year lead in technology is a lot,
    While, the empire leads in almost every field.​

    Lets take a deeper look behind the mask of Scandinavian socialism ::sunglasses:

    "What Sanders and his supporters confuse as socialism is actually social democracy, a system in which the government aims to promote the public welfare through heavy taxation and spending, within the framework of a capitalist economy. This is what the Scandinavians practice."

    Scandinavians do it in hot tubs.
    Call it socialism if you want.
    But they still make more money than they spend.​

    Honesty is Such a Lonely Word

    Tune in Moscow. Tune in New York
    Listen to the Welsh kid talk communicating
    Like in the good old days.
    Drop out, tune in, and turn on,
    Feel the vibes and drink the nectar,
    Remember what it was like to be human.
    Never forget who you really want to be,
    Because you are never who you think you are.
    Rise up Rainbow Warriors, Rise up and Speak Your Beautiful Words,
    These are the days that make heroes of all who step forward.
    Never forget it was the smallest amongst us who saved us all by laughing.​

    The article makes me feel like we're playing semantics. I guess I'm still working at definitions! Democratic Socialism and Social Democracy aren't the same. I'm sorry. I inferred that they were one and the same.

    Just to clarify though, I was complimenting their success, not accusing them of being socialists. Also, I don't think Bernie Sanders' plans for America are socialist. He would be for Social Democracy, as I understand it. The taxes he proposes are a little higher than what we have now, but that's how you pay for great public welfare.
