This is how socialism always ends...repression, violence, death, starvation, riots

[ScienceRocks]

Of course the rogue media branch of government isn't going to devote much ink to it, because they are the defenders and promoters of not only socialism, but marxism as well.

The family demanded a proof of life video, after the Venzuelan opposition leader, Leopoldo Lopez, was severely beaten for refusing to issue a statement begging protesters to stop protesting. In case you live under a rock, Venezuela has been destroyed by socialism and now the people are protesting and starving in the streets, following government seizure of resources and food.

The proof of life video does not show Lopez. It shows a really muscular young dude. Lopez was beaten severely after he refused to speak, and was suffering abdominal injuries.

Who's starving in Sweden?

Or france, Germany, Norway, Japan, South Korea, Canada, etc. I could go on with this list...

Comparing mixed economies to what we see in south America is the height of idiocy.

right wingers...You're the ones trying to stop gay people from adopting children, marrying, transgender people from using the bath room and fighting tooth and nail to take our rights away...Who are the repressive ones? I think you're.

We're watching it in Venezuela now and you need a fucking link to find it? How dumb are you?

I thought you misspelled high, but then realized throughout your post you were just bragging how fucked up you are.

So called democratic socialism has worked well in Germany, Switzerland, and Israel however.

So you cannot blame the economic system.

You must blame the people there themselves.

I'm not convinced it's worked all that great in those countries.

I have lived there and they seem to be happy with it.

I think Oregone is going to your head.

You need to get out of Oregone more.

I suppose one reason is they don't have to.support 20 million illegals..

You don't have a right to repress me or anyone....You have no grounds to scream repression.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Since we don't have either a governmental or social system even remotely similar to Venezuela,

what's the point here?

We were as close to being one Bernie away from having it.

Kosher, you mean like Sweden, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, etc you may be looking in the wrong direction. Look to the South in America, there you'd see republican ruled democracy leads to early death. Wake up girl, these third world nations aren't socialism, they autocracies, plutocracy, or some dictatorships, and actually they lack social and political structure. You righties are so easily played, no wonder Trump is your fearless leader.

I see you included Sweden, the rape capital of the world.

Sweden is about to lose their sovereignty due to PC politicians letting Muslims into the country, even returning ISIS fighters come and go as they please.

It will implode within a few years.

You obviously have never been to Sweden... It is extremely well run country... They have top class social programs which mind all there citizens, they have a policy of trying to make everyone contributors to society... I have been out in the worst places in Stockholm at three o'clock in the morning and never felt safer... There murder rate is less than a quarter of US... Nice people too...

When was the last time you were there?

2 years ago for 6 months.... I still talk with them as well. There is no increase in crime in Sweden and they have crime rates America could only dream about.. Sweden are far better at managing crime than the US and the figures don't lie on that...

You have to get proper knowledge, Sweden are a clear example how to run a country... Not perfect but very well run country...

You should live there, by all means!

"... few actually actively seek to move to Scandinavia, for obvious reasons: the weather is appalling, the taxes are the highest in the world, the cost of living is similarly ridiculous, the languages are impenetrable, the food is (still) awful for the most part and, increasingly, these countries are making it very clear they would prefer foreigners to stay away.

"What are some of the biggest misconceptions that you find in how the rest of the world understands the Nordic countries?

"Again, I think we've all been guilty of projecting some kind of utopian fantasy on them. The Nordic countries are, for example, depicted as paragons of political correctness, yet you still see racial stereotypes in the media here — the kind of thing which would be unthinkable in the U.S. Meanwhile, though it is true that these are the most gender-equal societies in the world, they also record the highest rates of violence towards women — only part of which can be explained by high levels of reporting of crime.

"Denmark, meanwhile, promotes itself as a "green pioneer" and finger wags at the world about CO2 emissions, and yet it regularly beats the U.S. and virtually every other country on earth in terms of its per capita ecological footprint. For all their wind turbines, the Danes still burn a lot of coal and drive a lot of cars, their country is home to the world’s largest shipping company (Mærsk), and the region’s largest air hub.

"Sweden is supposedly "neutral" (it’s not, and has not been for decades), yet since the days when it sold iron ore to Hitler, its economy has always benefited from its arms industry, which is one of the world’s largest.

"The Norwegians have fallen prey to precisely the same kind of problems as other oil-rich states: their economy depends far too much on one industry (oil), they’ve taken their foot off the gas in terms of their work ethic, and now all young Norwegians want to do is be "something in the media" or open a cupcake place."

Denmark isn't the utopian fantasy it is made out to be - here's why

You first sentence blames the Scandinavians for there weather... Thats seems a bit stupid...

Have you actually live in any of these countries?

I have and they are well run, the country runs different to US... Simple things like office behaviour is a joy to work with, they don't blame individuals for screw up but try to find the root problem, there is no scape goating people, there is very little arguments in the office. Imagine how much work gets done when you stop having to cover your ass for everything. People genuinely try there best and if doesn't work they have no qualms about getting help.

The thing is you have not lived there and I have. I find it very rich to say that Scandinavia is going descent into violence coming from anyone in the US considering the crime rates...

I haven't claimed them to be perfect but show us a non social democracy which is better? I keep asking this and getting no answer.

Some people aren't smart enough to learn from the mistakes of others.

Well Somalia has no socialism... Seems to be going just fine... Angola (or what it is call now) has little too...

Please show us your utopian country...

How does any of that relate to what I posted?

Are you pretending to be drunker than me?

Tell us a country with no socialism which is running well?

So you have no idea what your point is. Big surprise.

Venezuela is a screwed up country far before Socialism and that wasn't the statement... ALWAYS was used... We have shown plenty of places with socialism and those things don't exist in major levels...

We can only find one countries with no socialism as complete lawless states...

[NYcarbineer]

"The Scandinavian countries are regularly praised for their income equality,quality of life, gender equality, maternal care and many other traits, not just by leftist politicians and activists, but also by left-leaning economists like Paul Krugman. The Scandinavian model, they believe, is the ultimate proof that you can combine a high-growth economy with a generous welfare state.
"The problem is that much of the praise is wrong."

"...despite what many in the American left who idealizes Scandinavia might wish, the success was not achieved thanks to the welfare state model, but perhaps despite its existence.

"Scandinavia’s success came before the welfare state, not after it. Between 1936 and 2008, when much of the welfare expansion occurred, Sweden’s growth rate dropped to being the 13th highest out of 28 industrialized countries.

"During the decades before, between 1870 and 1936, Sweden had enjoyed the highest economic growth in the entire industrialized world. Moreover, in the most intense period of “third-way” policies of market socialism, between the 1970s and 1990s, Sweden’s economic performance was exceptionally low. This period, however, was an exception: for most of its modern history, Sweden has been anything but a socialist mecca."

Sorry Leftist Americans, Your Swedish Utopia Does Not Exist

No Utopia exists but Sweden certainly has things like healthcare figured out much better than anything you'll ever get from conservatives in the US.

It's a recent trick of the RWnuts that whenever you point out successful countries that are far more socialistic than we are,

they respond, well they aren't really socialist countries.
