Denmark is often cited as the socialist model

Is Denmark a socialist country?
Very interesting tidbit for the Bernie worshippers.
Prager U. with a short 5 min. video from a Copenhagen economist. Otto Brøns-Petersen is the head of economic research at CEPOS, The Center for Political Studies, in Copenhagen Denmark.
Great explanation.

Socialism has failed across the world – from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to China, Vietnam, North Korea and, most recently, Venezuela. So now the left references countries like Denmark as “proof” that socialism works. Otto Brons-Petersen explains why they’re wrong: Denmark is just as capitalist as the United States.
Great explanation.

Denmark also has no military and no say in world affairs. They also have a population smaller than NYC so sure other than those differences we can be just like Denmark.

Trumpkins can be annoying as shite but holy hell the left sucks at memes bad.

Ok, but he would have to obliterate our military and completely reverse his immigration policy. Denmark has the most strict immigration and assimilation laws...but sure.

Denmark has made it so oppressive to own an automobile that the only people who drive are the elites and the common folk all use bicycles.

Have you ever had a discussion about the Danish system with a Danish national?

Bernie wants to nationalize companies.
Denmark does not nationalize companies.
Bernie is a socialist.

Let's take a look at the demographics and see how that plays into things:
Population
5,809,502 (July 2018 est.)
Ethnic groups
Danish (includes Greenlandic (who are predominantly Inuit) and Faroese) 86.3%
Turkish 1.1%
other 12.6% (largest groups are Polish, Syrian, German, Iraqi, and Romanian) (2018 est.)
Looks a bit different than what we have in America
Population
329,256,465 (July 2018 est.)
white 72.4%
black 12.6%
Asian 4.8%
Amerindian and Alaska native 0.9%
native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.2%
other 6.2%
two or more races 2.9% (2010 est.)
an estimated 16.3% of the total US population is Hispanic as of 2010

I think that's what most people get wrong about Bernie. He wants big government like Denmark. Not actual socialism.
