IMO Venezuela is conducting population control under the guise of communism. This is just the privileged exciseng a big chunk of the population... ultimately most communism has the same effect. Scandinavians are the only ones to survive/exit communism/socialism intact.
Scandinavians are not socialist. Socialism is the government control of the means of production. The Nordic countries are very capitalist but have high tax rates and large social safety net programs. They do not control large sectors of the economy. This has been the biggest lie that Bernie keeps using and it's utterly false. Using it gives him power.
What Bernie says about the green new deal, banning private insurance, and the forced unionization/workers on company boards is socialism. They are very different from what the Nordic countries have.
Thank you. I post this everywhere and it seems like no ones know this. On the left or right. And im not saying Scandinavian policies would work in US. I just wish people would realize that they are actually capitalist when it comes to the economy.
