Oh the irony of this thread !

First, you wouldn't have the CDC without socialism . And diseases would run rampant .
 
If you want a good example of socialism...

... take a look at Venezuela.
Or the Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.

You drank the Bernie Sanders Kool-Aid and like with everything else, Bernie Sanders didn't know what he was talking about.

The Nordic Model isn't Socialist.

The Myth of Scandinavian Socialism

"However, the Scandinavian countries are not good examples of democratic socialism in action because they aren’t socialist.

In the Scandinavian countries, like all other developed nations, the means of production are primarily owned by private individuals, not the community or the government, and resources are allocated to their respective uses by the market, not government or community planning.

While it is true that the Scandinavian countries provide things like a generous social safety net and universal healthcare, an extensive welfare state is not the same thing as socialism. What Sanders and his supporters confuse as socialism is actually social democracy, a system in which the government aims to promote the public welfare through heavy taxation and spending, within the framework of a capitalist economy. This is what the Scandinavians practice.

In response to Americans frequently referring to his country as socialist, the prime minister of Denmark recently remarked in a lecture at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government,

"I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."

The Scandinavians embrace a brand of free-market capitalism that exists in conjunction with a large welfare state, known as the “Nordic Model,” which includes many policies that democratic socialists would likely abhor.


For example, democratic socialists are generally opponents of global capitalism and free trade, but the Scandinavian countries have fully embraced these things. TheEconomist magazine describes the Scandinavian countries as “stout free-traders who resist the temptation to intervene even to protect iconic companies.” Perhaps this is why Denmark, Norway, and Sweden rank among the most globalized countries in the entire world. These countries all also rank in the top 10 easiest countries to do business in."

Why don't you watch the HBO documentary called Class Divide.

Is it about Venezuela?

No New York, well actually many places in the US. its about a school called Avenue (newly built) that the rich
h kids go to from K-12 , costs 45 grand a year, and right across the avenue, 2 lane, is the projects. They are going to build them all over the globe, global schools, kids learn several languages and how to write Chinese, etc.

I see the sub prime mortgage done on purpose to revamp the cities and chase the poor out of them. Called
gentrification, a way for the wealthy to buy up cheap property foreclosed in the inner cities, Detroit and Cleveland by Dan Gilbert, and Hudson Yards in Chelsea NY. Goldman Sachs made out among many others. It's been known for a long time how the wealthy are creating the cities, the best hospitals, and ability to live and walk to work or take the subway,
while the poor will live in the outskirts and do manual labor in factories that the wealthy own, drinking bad water.
(I'm looking forward probably say 30 years) self contained cities.

Like Israel has a large farm and cattle ranch in the Golan Heights, no room in Israel.

Just the opposite of how it use to be, and most larger cities are on the water.

New Orleans was taken over by the wealthy now as well.

Not that all of it is bad, empty factories have no use, but now we know why the rich just keep getting richer and why the Republicans do not want inheritance tax or any social programs.
