Fixed some typos
Socialism is just smart: organizing expensive stuff at really large scale, without greedy shareholders, just makes it more effective.
All it takes is an efficiently organized government and a voting system that works for the people, not the elites
No, Denmark is not socialist. Socialized services under capitalism and literally collectivizing ownership of industry under socialism are very different regimes, even though they stem from a common conceptual foundation and share a linguistic root. Neither are bad ideas! But the former is still literally capitalism.
Nordic counties are social democracies (which is what you explained) not socialist
They still operate within the boundaries of capitalism with a free market except with a strong welfare state. The means of production aren’t l owned by the workers.
Also in Europe strong welfare state means mediocre welfare state that 5/7 parties constantly try to get rid of...
democratic socialism is more of a liberal thing and not the same as socialism.
You mean social democracy instead of democratic socialism
probably.
but this feels like that life of Brian sketch
I know what you mean. The names are similar but they mean vastly different things
I'm not disagreeing, I'll admit I it wrong, and a bit funny
Could you direct me to the judean people's front ?
