Well. Hrm. Maybe a little genetic diversity isn't so bad, Ajax.

Lol. Oh, my. Although, I do think that I detect a little photoshop action on at least the third pic, of what has been morphed into a hybrid human crab louse.

Norway - 60% of gdp is state owned enterprise. All of these countries, save Iceland if I remember correctly, are over 45% of gdp derived from state owned enterprise. What is your definition of democratic socialism? These are very democratic socialist countries, high taxes, lots of unions, mixed state owned vs private, large welfare nets. Textbook definition of democratic socialism. The stupid, as usual, is you.

wow, you just keep on digging - never seen such a shovel of stupid as big as yours on this matter.

Yes, countries with fewer than 6 million folks, monarchs, and immense oil exports which are owned by the State...what a testimony to your broad sweeping notion of "socialism". Again, those countries are not socialist...There are "state owned enterprise" in America as well - still not a socialist country, not even your sidestep of democratic socialist country...and neither are these EU countries you are listing....even a rube recognizes the point I was making about how in the western hemisphere, especially in the Americas, more immigrants are fleeing socialist and near-socialist countries to come to America, a blatantly capitalist country than are fleeing capitalist countries.

partial list of corporations owned by USA (a.k.a. state owned enterprises) - TVA, Postal Service, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Federal Prisons Industry, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Amtrak, etc...etc...

See, I was foolish enough to go to college and learn such silliness as socialism being where the means of production, distribution, and exchange are owned or regulated by the community as a whole.....so looking at Norway, Denmark, etc we see that this doesn't really apply as their "system".

Ya know, Saudi Arabia has hella "state owned enterprise" with a 18th global rank in GDP (compare to Denmark at 28)...yet not even morons call that socialist, even with a monarchy (see also Denmark)...that is because "state owned" ain't so narrow...Saudi is s feudal fealty system or what we call today - political patronage. now focus.

Sub - You engage in strawmen without actually reading what was said.
Tell you what Sub - what countries on the planet are purely capitalist and which are purely socialist, and which purely communist?

Come on. [deleted] isn't a real college, subs. You claim to be [deleted] but don't know that volume is increasing at the cube of the radius for a sphere. Don't you remember your debate with steelhead about volume calculations of water required to flood the earth?

So when Bernie Sanders talks about Denmark as a model, why do Conservatives automatically equate the Danish system with Venezuela?

Mendacity. That’s why. It seems to be an admirable thing amongst the MAGA crowd.

The best thing about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is her epic tweets that take down Right Wing idiots.

because of context, Bernie is putting forth socialism not Denmark per se...the "equating" is in the premise. Besides, not all conservatives, so dial that back a bit.

Come on. East Tennessee State isn't a real college, subs. You claim to be an architect but don't know that volume is increasing at the cube of the radius for a sphere. Don't you remember your debate with steelhead about volume calculations of water required to flood the earth?

Please could you post a link to the point in the discussion where it becomes clear that subgenius has a mistaken idea of the relation between the volume of a sphere and its radius? I have scrolled down a number of pages without finding it.

Can you describe how Sanders' policy proposals are more like Venezuela than Nordic socialism that you don't want to call socialism.

(You can't, but have fun.)
