better than any of the failed plans from socialist nations in the past? What makes these plans equal to or better than the Nordic Nations?

Honest question. I’d love to hear from those that support these plans.

I’d also like to know if those that support this course change in US history would be willing to revert back if the plans don’t work.

those times it wasn't implemented correctly. But this time. This time it'll be a utopian paradise instead of a brutal fascist totalitarian regime that controls all production and wealth and rules a depressed and poverty stricken populace with an iron fist. This time it will be different than literally every single other time in history because reasons.

You see the other historical advocates were power hungry corrupt men who bastardized the system. These new overlords are nice benevolent people who would never ever abuse their power or take advantage of anyone.

The old socialists always ended up being corrupt and ruined it for everyone. But don’t worry, no one in the USA supporting socialism is corrupt! Just that bad orange man Trump! Did you know Trump loves capitalism? It must be bad! Which means socialism is good!

They aren’t. And they would honestly be implemented by MUCH dumber people in AOC and Bernie than other highly intelligent socialist leaders in past countries who still failed. The only reason socialist principles are allegedly (and I’ll get to that at the end of this post) working in Nordic countries is because those countries are all white and have an average IQ of about 130, they’re land locked so they aren’t having mass demographic or population changes, and their entire populations buy in and work hard, which wouldn’t happen in America.

Oh yea and there’s the fact that Nordic countries aren’t really socialist. That’s a lie created by radical leftists. Socialism has never worked and never will

Why does the president between W and Trump get a pass on that ridiculous chart?

The Nordic nations aren't socialist. They employ some socialist programs and are heavily taxed, but the citizens, not government own businesses.

And they enjoy extremely low corporate taxes which is the opposite of socialism.

We've got way more rich people so distribution will be a snap. The rich will continue working hard and making lots of money even though most of it is taxed, because they realize they have a duty to give back to the community.

I am far from rich and I never understood the fascination with taxing with the rich. It just reeks of jealousy.

I will say, as much as I hate communist and socialist, I will give credit when credit is due.
