Democracy is the tyranny of majority. In a jobless world, socialism and democracy are convergent. Like in the Soviet Union, an American democracy or American socialist democracy will be like the democratic socialist republic of East Germany / Czechoslovakia / Congo.
The Swedish and the Norwegians conducted an extensive albeit low key ethnic cleansing of a sort in the 1950s and 1960s with their social sterilization programs amongs others.
Dont mean to be rude, but that is simply not true. I am guessing you mean that they are ethnically homogeneous, which again is not true in the case of Finland, Denmark or Sweden. Norway is an outlier because no one wants to live there.

The internet didn't exist before the 1990s, so you need to talk to people. There are probably a few current studies of this which the socialist government would of course deny, but mostly I am too lazy to research for links about things that people just generally know in a country. You can probably start with papers about the Lapp people.link to some documentation?The Swedish and the Norwegians conducted an extensive albeit low key ethnic cleansing of a sort in the 1950s and 1960s with their social sterilization programs amongs others.

You're not wrong, we do need to get control of our government back, but socialism certainly isn't the way to do it. Socialism would only give them more power and more control, while destroying our economy.
This data is completely irrelevant. The average income of households is only showing that fewer people are going into college to get real jobs. It's a result of the people of America being content with living a meaningless life and dying a meaningless death. It's a natural result of the government 'educating' the youth of America. It's also a result of slowed business expansion.In 2013, Gallup published a list of countries with median household income, based on a self-reported survey of approximately 1000 adults from each country.[1] Using median, rather than mean income, results in a much more accurate picture of the average income of the middle class since the data will not be skewed by gains and abnormalities in the extreme ends. The figures are in international dollars using purchasing power parity and are based on responses from at least 2,000 adults in each country, with the data aggregated from 2006 to 2012. Below is a list of the top 30 countries. The figures are before deduction of taxes and social contributions.

I am not sure why Iceland is not listed in that list, since it has a per capita income similar to that of Denmark. It has no significant natural resources, and has made do with geothermal and large use of cement. Economy of Iceland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I suspect that Pew might have simply overlooked it.
The point is that the Nordic model of socialism is out performing our own economy in individual income by about 20%. We will need to adopt something like this to handle the jobless economy of the future.
Socialism has plenty to do with Marxism and Communism, it's a step leading to both. Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Liberalism... all different names for the same evil ideology that has done nothing but destroy.
It does predate Marxism, but Marxism popularized and expanded on it. It was always a horrible ideal, build on pulling down the successful and enabling the lazy.
The socialist concepts of Proudhon and Owens were based on a secularized version of first century Christian communities, and there was nothing horrid about that, only in their attempts to replicate without a central faith something that faith is necessary for to hold together.
Regardless of what it's based on, it's an economic system that drags down the successful and rewards the lazy.
That again is simply not true.
Oh, gee, I wonder. Probably because the majority of workers belong to unions. Unions are basically the ultimate weapon for business oppression, forcing businesses to pay maximum dollar for minimum effort. I'd also like to point out that government spending is massive, and tax burdens are among the highest in the world.
