There's a lot of government run programs in the US does that make us a socialist country? Being for some government run programs doesn't make a person a socialist


What by your definition would make us officially a socialist country?

Please be specific.

Take over of energy, healthcare, transportation, school, etc. what would cross the line to be labels as such?

That my the correct definition makes him a socialist.



To be clear that makes the Scandinavian countries as well as most of Western Europe and Canada socialist countries, correct?

By definition yes.

The Scandinavian countries refer to themselves as Democratic Socialists countries do they not?

They aren't socialist. They just tax the living frick out of every citizen, and it's less progressive so they can raise enough taxes to fund their massive welfare states. From a business perspective those countries have better regulatory and taxing environments.
