Democratic Socialism (What Europe had in the 70s and 80s before they went crazy with the EU and importing Mohammedans in massive numbers).

But yeah y’all are funny saying the demographics are the reason Democratic Socialism won’t work in America. Of course it won’t work if y’all don’t want it to work, and it seems like some of y’all don’t want it because if you had it, “those people” would have it too

I've been reading about Scandinavia in Rand Paul's book. Those countries achieved their substantial growth from the end of WWII to the 1960s. When they moved to more socialism in the 70s their GDP growth plummeted.
There was also an amazing absence of any business/industrial innovations for 30 years whereas they were very innovative in prior decades.
Now, the countries have been moving away from socialism over the last 5 years. Their welfare expansion was not a big problem at first because their culture frowns on those who do not work. But now that they are importing 3rd world immigrants they are thinking twice about their safety net becoming a hammock.

Democratic Socialism is a Bernie Sanders malapropism. The Nordic countries call themselves Social Democracies, but their economic systems are welfare capitalists.
They require private ownership which the government taxes at ungodly rates.

I know a leftist is losing an argument when they cry about racism.

socially owned economy,
Here is the fallacy. It’s not socially owned anywhere. It’s owned by the government that can legislate itself into prosperity while forcing its population into poverty. It’s Communism.

Nope.
The Democrats could pull a terrorist out of Guantanamo for their presidential candidate and he’d still will NY, CA, OR and Washington. Probably IL and MD too.

Not just demographics. The Nordic countries are extremely homogeneous culturally which is what matters far more than being homogenous racially.
Their entire way of life is different than the typical American.
Their homes are tiny. They own less. They have walkable cities and a tiny land size that makes public transit a breeze to handle.
Of course, a dumbass like yourself sees “homogenous” and instantly thinks the only thing they have that’s homogenous is their skin color.

Pablum for the lazy and mentally weak, people like CelticDog who can't get by in life without the government making the majority of their decisions for them.

Wrong child, some of us just don't want ourselves and society dragged down to the lowest common denominator, which is made up of people like you. You believe in equality of outcome is more important than equality of opportunity, that's a central tenant for the lazy and willfully ignorant.

Being Nordic or Danish actually matters to those people, unlike in America where we’re American but have little in common otherwise

So you want to force people to own less?
How do you think that a country the size of the US with cities as spread out as they are is going to have an effective and efficient public transit system?

Wait I thought nationalism was bad? I thought being inclusive was good? Why do you want America to be 95% white?
That was a pretty racist statement if you ask me.

And that’s the fault of the left who constantly divide us with their identity politics.
It’s the right who says we are all Americans

It's socialism. They actually are naive enough to think it can be controlled by voters.
They're retarded. They lie too.
Most of its ptoponants though are fooled into thinking its equal to a social democracy, but it's far more sinister.
