What is it about Socialism that makes you want it here in the United States?

[beagle9]

Socialism what is so attractive about it, that you would give up your Constitutional Rights to have in implemented?

Which Constitutional Rights would I have to give up?

States rights, gun rights, freedom of the press, demolishing of the electoral college, rights of only citizens voting in federal elections. Just a few that are further at stake.

You're confused. Socialism is an economic system that will not necessarily impact any of your listed rights.

All ties together. Glad you used the word nessesarily in your sentence.

Are the Nordic countries socialist?

as far as I know none are,,,

You claim the Nordic countries are NOT socialist. If that is correct, and most Dems claim they are Democratic Socialists and want to mimic the Nordic model here, by your logic there are NO Democratic Socialists. Can you show otherwise?

If the Nordic countries aren't Socialist, the answer to the poll is that no Dem thinks Socialism is attractive and wants it implemented here.

You're confused, every socialist nation that started eventually impacted the rights listed. Every fucking one. Got it? Dumbass.

If you don't believe the Nordic countries are socialist then your poll is mute since all the Dems use those countries as their model of socialism.

So now we have to go to the Nordic countries , because they have not been paying into NATO thus being able to put more into their welfare programs. Now that money has to go to NATO, those programs are in trouble as it always happens when you run out of other peoples money. Are you really that much of an idiot? Dont answer I already know.

The myth of Nordic socialism is partially created by a confusion between socialism, meaning government exerting control or ownership of businesses, and the welfare state in the form of government-provided social safety net programs. However, the left’s embrace of socialism is not merely a case of redefining a word.

Your link claims the Nordic countries are NOT socialist. If that is correct there are few if any Dems that are socialists. You can't have it both ways.

not according to their stated goals,,,

You're unclear. Are the Nordic countries socialist?

Socialist-Democracies.

At least some people are brave enough to put up some Socialist Policies. Did you know in Scotland, where there is free healthcare and college, the citizens have to pay 75% of their income in taxes? Tell me, is that free?

The Nordic countries are a form of quasi socialism. Social welfare is huge there. It is unionized, no chance for self determination. And taxes are phenomenal. Highest in the world. Many of their schools lag behind even the UK. Their healthcare is failing. They have the highest cancer rates in the world. Their economy is lackluster. They also have extremely high usage of anti-depressants.

Some utopia.

Socialism has a 100% success rate.

The leaders become billionaires without having to produce anything of value while the people who are stupid enough to believe that they will be better off after surrendering their weapons, freedoms and property end up selling their kids and eating their pets.

Works every single time!

I don't know if 75% income tax is accurate but if it is, it isn't solely to cover healthcare and college. I am from Sweden where taxes are considered high but Americans do not understand that with benefits and high standard wages we live better than the vast majority of Americans. BUT you are absolutely correct in saying that things are not really "free".

You seem to have your own problems telling truth from fiction. The Dems model their Democratic Socialism after the Nordic countries. You claim the Dems are Socialist. You also claim the Nordic countries are not Socialist. Which is it?

I realize that you are exaggerating just to motivate your opinion of Socialism ... ha-ha, very good ... but you are completely wrong even in your most fundamental conviction. People don't need "weapons", "freedom" you know nothing about because you have so little of it in comparison, "property" is steadfast, and well your last comment is just a good hoot.

'Sweden's healthcare is an embarrassment'
And have some of the highest cancer rates.

Stats on America’s poor, from a few years ago-

• Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
• Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
• Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
• The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
• Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.
• Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
• Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
• Eighty-nine percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.

That's true to a point. I guess you can say that it is the degree of democracy and the degree of socialism that separates them.

So which Dem advocates for a socialist program that is not found in any of the Nordic countries?

This is an exaggeration but it is true that our status as number one democracy is dropping at an alarming rate and that our medical services are becoming an embarrassment. Long queues is the biggest complaint. However, three weeks ago I keeled over and blacked out and it was discovered that my heart rhythm was in bad shape. So two weeks ago (one week after I blacked out) I was given a pacemaker. I feel fine now but I just got it so I don't know how it will be after some time. The point is that I am pleased with the Swedish cardiology department. As far as cancer goes .... I don't know, but yes rumours agree with you.

That's not true. The U.S. has a degree of Democracy as well as social elements although they might not be considered "socialist".
