You probably need to talk to Bernie. He's the one claiming he wants to be socialist like the Nordic Countries.



Yeah he frames that poorly and also doesn't seem to know the history of Nordic countries. The term developed by the Nordic countries themselves was "Nordic capitalism," or the Nordic model. The Danish PM himself said that:

quote:

he was aware "that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism." "Therefore," he said, "I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."


Sweden and Denmark have overhauled their welfare states, and have been better for it as well.

Yet Bernie wants to mimic the Sweden of the 70's and 80's. There is a reckoning coming for the other European welfare states, and they are not as intelligent as the Swedes and will not reform. The entire continent will go the way of Greece and Italy when all is said and done.
