Venezuelans who fled socialism destroy AOC

[Uncensored2008]

Corruption and authoritarianism are hallmarks of socialism.

Sweden is corrupt?

Ever heard of "austerity," fuckwad?

Sweden has less social programs than America. It's nowhere near "socialist."

yup.
And they don't have a federally enforced minimum wage
And the government does not control means of production.
They became incredibly wealthy...then almost bankrupted themselves by overindulging in social programs...and had to go back towards capitalism...which they did...which halted the economic train wreck.

"The Nordic Model – Embracing globalization and sharing risks" characterises the system as follows:[10]

• An elaborate social safety net, in addition to public services such as free education and universal healthcare[10] in a largely tax-funded system.[11]
• Strong property rights, contract enforcement and overall ease of doing business.[12]
• Public pension plans.[10]
• Free trade combined with collective risk sharing (social programmes, labour market institutions) which has provided a form of protection against the risks associated with economic openness.[10]
• Little product market regulation. Nordic countries rank very high in product market freedom according to OECD rankings.[10]
• Low levels of corruption.[10] In Transparency International's 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway were ranked among the top 10 least corrupt of the 167 countries evaluated.[13]
• High percentage of workers belonging to a labour union.[14] In 2013, labour union density was 88% in Iceland, 69% in Denmark, 67% in Sweden, 66% in Finland and 51% in Norway. In comparison, labour union density was 18% in Germany, 11% in the United States and 8% in France.[15] The lower union density in Norway is mainly explained by the absence of a Ghent system since 1938. In contrast, Denmark, Finland and Sweden all have union-run unemployment funds.[16]
• A partnership between employers, trade unions and the government, whereby these social partners negotiate the terms to regulating the workplace among themselves, rather than the terms being imposed by law.[17][18] Sweden has decentralised wage co-ordination while Finland is ranked the least flexible.[10] The changing economic conditions have given rise to fear among workers as well as resistance by trade unions in regards to reforms.[10] At the same time, reforms and favourable economic development seem to have reduced unemployment, which has traditionally been higher. Denmark's Social Democrats managed to push through reforms in 1994 and 1996 (see flexicurity).
• The United Nations World Happiness Reports show that the happiest nations are concentrated in Northern Europe. The Nordics ranked highest on the metrics of real GDP per capita, healthy life expectancy, having someone to count on, perceived freedom to make life choices, generosity and freedom from corruption.[19] The Nordic countries place in the top 10 of the World Happiness Report 2018, with Finland and Norway taking the top spots.[20]
• The Nordic countries received the highest ranking for protecting workers rights on the International Trade Union Confederation's 2014 Global Rights Index, with Denmark being the only nation to receive a perfect score.[21]
• Sweden at 56.6% of GDP, Denmark at 51.7% and Finland at 48.6% reflect very high public spending.[22] One key reason for public spending is the large number of public employees. These employees work in various fields including education, healthcare and for the government itself. They often have greater job security and make up around a third of the workforce (more than 38% in Denmark). Public spending in social transfers such as unemployment benefits and early-retirement programmes is high. In 2001, the wage-based unemployment benefits were around 90% of wage in Denmark and 80% in Sweden, compared to 75% in the Netherlands and 60% in Germany. The unemployed were also able to receive benefits several years before reductions, compared to quick benefit reduction in other countries.
• Public expenditure for health and education is significantly higher in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in comparison to the OECD average.[23]
• Overall tax burdens (as a percentage of GDP) are high: Sweden (44.1%), Denmark (45.9%) and Finland (44.1%).[24] The Nordic countries have relatively flat tax rates, meaning that even those with medium and low incomes are taxed at relatively high levels.[25][26]

Ummmm oh...

Corruption and authoritarianism destroyed that country. Thus, Venezuela is a warning against giving power to Republicans.

this is exactly how the socialists won in venezuela.

It is actually exactly how the stupidest person to ever be elected to any office (this means dumber than Guam tip over Hank Johnson and maxine waters) in the history of the world was elected.

Trust me, socialists are fucking stupid. However, American socialists are a very specific type of stupid. Not to mention none of them can control how hypocritical they allow themselves to get.

 

[HenryBHough]

It's the Republican dream society. One party rule, flagrant corruption, Stalinist policies. Why won't you Republicans own it? It is your vision for the USA after all.

Who might have guessed that such brilliance could come from a simple crack pipe?

oh...

are you trying to support what I already posted?
And where's the link?

 

[P@triot]

Wait...that’s what you people said about Cuba. And Greece. And the former U.S.S.R. And Cambodia. So basically you just proved that left-wing policies end in “corruption” and “authoritarianism”.

(Psst...we’ve all known that for decades, stupid)

 

[P@triot]

Does it hurt to be that stupid?

She’s not that stupid. She’s just trying to take failed left-wing policies and blame them on Republicans. It’s sort of the lazy version of the Cloward-Piven strategy.

 

[P@triot]

"The Nordic Model – Embracing globalization and sharing risks" characterises the system as follows:[10]

You lost me at “sharing risk”. That’s the epitome of ignorant. Anybody who knows anything about risk management understands single point of failure. It is catastrophic to operations.

If you have anything that can halt operations, it is imperative that it be identified and that it have redundancy (whether that is manufacturing equipment, networks, etc.). And in the “risk sharing” model of left-wing lunacy, you do the opposite. You eliminate the natural redundancy of millions of individuals in capitalism and you tie them all together so that they are guaranteed to fail together.

Under capitalism, when the asshole puts a heroin needle in his arm, only the asshole fails. Everyone else continues operating and thriving. That’s redundancy.

In socialism, all of society is dragged down by that asshole as they have to support him. They have to pay for his housing, his meals, his healthcare, etc. It is single point of failure.

So all of Obama's green energy ventures were corrupt?

I'll agree with that.

So many Republicans, all so butthurt over the failure of their Stalinist utopia in Venezuela.

Authoritarianism, corruption and state monopolies -- that is, Republicanism -- don't work.

And yet your dumb ass keeps calling for all of that because

1. You’re a fuck’n parasite looking to mooch off of society and...
2. You live to see people controlled by oppressive left-wing ideology

Lousy management can be confused with socialism.

Government is socialism.

1929 already happened. Where is Capitalism?

 

[danielpalos]
