too funny
you still have not figured out the USSR failed because communism/ socialism is a failed ideology that is fundamental opposed to human nature.
the USA will survive so long as the commies/ socialists are denied power
You still haven't figured out that social democracy works and have provided some of the happiest and most successful countries on the planet,
Larue, leave ducks alone.
Seriously, America will fall. Their economic model has gone from Milton Freedman to Ayn Rand.
Insidious Von, post something serious
the USA will survive so long as the commies/ socialists are denied power
The collapse of the Soviet Union has much more to do with fiscal mismanagement and corruption more than anything else, curiously that is also what's at the heart of many of America's problems too...
How is socialism a failed ideology? Please explain.
do a body count from communism/ socialism in the 20th century
if that does work for you, then a two word answer should .... Justin Trudeau
the communist / socialists ideals fail because mans natural competitive and innovative nature and desire to improve ones lot in life is inhibited via force / laws / regulation
and that makes a perfect breeding ground for inefficiency , fiscal mismanagement and corruption which usually results in a strongman implementing authoritarian rule
in addition people are treated as a disposable commodity rather than individuals
Yet the combo of the Sixth Great Extinction and climate change disasters are global failures that will result in way more deaths.
so you cant comprehend ?
Are you one of those lonnie lefties who hide behind the bullshit 'that's not true communism / socialism ' fallacy?
they have a legacy of death , suffering, corruption , suppression of freedoms and lost opportunities
but you will get it right this time ?
wrong
So you still haven’t even explained the failures of socialism
what part of a legacy of death , suffering, corruption , suppression of freedoms and lost opportunities confuses you ?
Your argument was all feelings. You didn’t provide me with any statistics or facts.
how many 10s of millions of starved, worked to death, or just plain murdered by socialist / commies in the 20th century would you require ?
you do not get to ignore history
feelings,? yeah mass murder by the millions leaves a terrible feeling
some suggest 90+ MM , some say over 200 MM,
We will likely never know
smarten up
it is a failed and evil ideology
but you will get it right this time ... >>>>bullshit

The Nordic countries — Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland — are frequently cited in discussions on socialism, but this representation is a significant misinterpretation of their actual economic and social systems. This extensive exploration aims to dissect the Nordic model in-depth, revealing its capitalist core, sophisticated use of tax revenues, and the nuanced reasons behind its common mislabeling as socialism.
Repeatedly, the leaders of Nordic nations have declared their commitment to capitalism and a free-market economy, distancing themselves from socialism. Despite these clear statements, there continues to be a recurring trend where individuals incorrectly label these countries as examples of socialist models. This persistent mislabeling overlooks the explicit economic stances these countries have taken, leading to a distorted understanding of their actual economic systems.
