Have you looked at the economic/political systems of the Scandinavian countries Yes, they are capitalist. They may have socialist aspects (free health care, welfare state), but they are for free market economy, private property ownership, democracy, lesser state interference, individual freedoms. If you google "Is sweden capitalist" most if not all of the links say "yes". When I think of a socialist country, I think of venezuela. I wonder why you didnt bring that as your example of a socialist country that was doing well? I suppose it might come down to a debate on what one means by capitalist or socialist, but most people appear to agree that the nordic countries are capitalist. Would you say there is less economic equality among their populations Not sure what this has to do with anything? Are you saying that countries with more economic equality are socialist? If so, thats a circular argument. "A closed mouth attracts no foot," so they say. Have you ever heard that before? Why do you do this all the time? It adds nothing to the discussion and just makes you look bad. You cant resist the urge to get your little jabs and adhominems in, can you? You must have been really pissed off when I said I hadnt noticed that you were a BL expert. |
