Yep, exactly the issue.
You see the term socialist and think full tilt communism.
Sweden, Norway and Denmark have strong socialist aspects. They are not socialist or communist like the bad examples of cuba or self proclaimed to be so north Korea.
Socialism can be used in doses, the right amounts.
Just like capitalism is horrific if overdosed like in America, socialism to the extreme is also bad.
It's about finding the right balance.
Absolutely correct. I'm not in support of what we're doing in America here. In fact I'm completely against it. We're no longer capitalists. We're something entirely different at this point. Something quite terrible.
There's nothing socialist about these countries...
Edit: well maybe not "nothing" as they still have a universal healthcare, but most of the wealth accumulating problems of capitalism are very much there. It's only a matter of time until it reaches a breaking point
