Tell me something, dipshit. To what party does the President of Sweden belong?On the one hand, a liberal would say to a republican that we know socialism works because the Scandinavian countries' brand of socialism works. Repubs then say "those aren't socialist countries! They have private economies"
Um okay. They are socialist countries even though they have private economies. Those concepts don't have to be conflicting. They get that, right?
However, republicans will call those nations socialist depending on the context of the conversation.
A republican will say in a different conversation that Bernie shouldn't be elected because he is a dirty socialist who will turn the US into Venezuela. A liberal defending Bernie Sanders will say "No, Bernie doesn't want to end the private market system. He just wants to institute socialist policies that would require the population at large to benefit from the current overall system that we have. He also thinks healthcare and other critical institutions should be socialized or remain socialized. The Scandinavian nations have these same policies"......in response the republican says "THAT'S JUST LIKE VENEZUELA!"
No, it isn't.
Dude you’re dumb. The Scandinavian countries are not Socialist.
