When people want to introduce Scandinavian-like social programs to the US, it's "socialism doesn't work". When people point out that they work in the Scandinavian countries it's "Those aren't actually socialism".
- DeusExMachina 1y agoWhen people want to claim that socialism works, they point at countries that aren't socialist. Socialism is very well defined and it's made nebulous only to claim virtues it doesn't have. Scandinavian countries aren't socialist. They themselves say they are not socialist and a simple google search for "are scandinavian countries socialist?" will show you that the consensus is that they are not.
- bparsons 1y agoGood news. The US can implement universal public healthcare and free university without fear of being socialist.
