THINK
Sweden isn't socialist ?

Please describe to me how this isn't a socialistic pisshole

Because socialism in 2016 is applied to culture and race more than economics.

New Somalia will be a third world country in a few decades, all memes aside. Out of all the cuck countries Sweden is just that much further gone than the rest.

Ding ding winner winner chicken dinner!

Its the best compromise between socialism and capitalism. The reason for this "swedn is communism xD" is that everything is socialism to americans. Its the boogeyman for them.

Because of black cocks invasion

because americans thing social democracy = socialism. case in point these fucktards

>leftism
>boogeyman for america
I don't think so, Genghis Khan.

Don't bother. Non-nordic people just cannot understand how this system works. It's like we are showing yellow cube and non-nordics see blue triangle. They just cannot comprehend it at all.

Checked

socialism is pleb teir

>Its the best compromise between socialism and capitalism

nope you are thinking of Germany.

Far greater and better Economy than Sweden could ever dream of and our social system is able to provide for 80 Million people - while that of Sweden can not.

Nobody wants to live in a slave nation like Finland where the government takes most of your money and provides little services.

Yeah, you will need it, to provide for 18 years old Arabs and their 9 children.

If I'm correct, they have one of the lowest corporate taxes in the world, on the other hand they have income taxe so high it would just ruin any other country, around 70% or something like this, can some not somali swede confirm?
And seriously, this Sanders faggot - you can't praise all the third world shitholes including Venezula, which disintegrates even now, your whole life and then want to do it scandinavian way. Even our own communists, remnats of soviet era, say that Sanders is retard.

Social democracy ≠ Socialism

/thread

You know, it's great until you realise that all the social systems in place can't take the stress and become about getting you out of their hands as fast as possible, instead of actually addressing what you came to them for.

why havent people started asking bernie for their money back?

people were giving him their rent money and shit...

this is fraud being committed by the democratic party to the people of the united states

Because idiots don't realise what socialism actually is, it isn't just high taxes and large welfare in a capitalistic system

It'd be great if your country were still white. Literally nothing wrong with providing welfare to poor white people, and give them opportunities to study and geta job.

nordicbrehs, you're usually on top of those shitty (((HAPPINESS INDEXES))) and shit charts that news sites like the guardian like to spam

tell me, are you happy?
what is (((happiness)))?

>you are thinking of Germany where you can only own a gun if you have a hunting license, you pay taxes for owning a dog, radio, and your tv, and Merkel still lets 1000 refugees into Cucktown

Social democracy only means you elect the people fucking you over.

Life is bretty good, but then again I live in northern Stockholm so we don't see much immigrants here. When I went to high school we were 1500 people and I remember seeing like 3 black people

>still 3 black people too many

more than 90% of your means of production are private owned, what you are is a Social Democracy

Why should the government own anything, preto fudido?

this

I believe the average person pays around 30% in taxes. And we also have VAT tax. 25% on most stuff.

not here anyway

>US of A making bants about more succesful countries than their shithole of a country
cant make that shit up

Burger definition of socialism is retarded

I dunno, I never implied it should amigo

>live in the best compromise between socialism and capitalism
>kill yourself

>scotland, england, wales, and northern ireland
>one statistic

They use norden europe because they know nothing about it. We are drowning in debt and companies are moving out faster than the government can raise the taxes.

It isn't?

It isn't really about welfare even. You go to the doctor, and tell them you think you ruptured your spleen, and they will do their utmost to avoid sending you on to a specialist, or send you on for more testing. Rather they will just prescribe you some sugar tablets, and hope the problem resolves itself. They do this, because regardless of who is using the system, the system can't handle the amount of people who think they need to see a doctor.

Same thing with our state run job agency. You go to them, and their job isn't to get you a job you are qualified for. The people there have been instructed to get job seekers out of their hands as fast as possible. They don't care if you get a job, or just stop showing up all together, because all that matters is their statistics for how many people are currently looking for jobs in the agency, which they want to naturally bring down to 0.

Schools have deteriorated too, with tax cuts, and education reform. No one fails grades here any more and has to sit back a year, because they just want to get as many people out of the schools as possible. At least we are still good about giving people who need a lot of extra help the help they need.

The fact that we can do that without it crashing our economy within a day or two should be telling you a lot.

> tfw there is a 40% chance that this poster is non-white

Hola mi amigo como estas?

>Belgium

Speak for yourself Sven. Just your system not working because youre too busy with welfare.

So, your country is a shithole and your government must hang?

>Finland

JUST

Not surprised, Belgium is bleak as fuck. Thank God I live in the countryside though.

>tfw mediterranean countries don't give a shit

The original bolsheviks came from Social Democratic partys. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I am inclined to think its a duck.

Hah you're saying our companies aren't moving out?
You're saying that 9 out 10 new companies doesn't shut down before employee number 3 because of excessive taxes and regulations?

What Denmark are you living in, because I want to move there.

It's the curse of unchecked socialism. It works great until you convince people to vote for the parties who offer lower taxes.

People should be voting for anyone offering to increase taxes, and install watchdog bodies into all institutions to optimise spending. But alas in the last 50 years, Swedes were taught to think only of their own economic self interest, even if a tax cut only nets them an extra 1000sek a year, 3 years after the party that promised them the cut were voted in.

Deluded cuck. You want security and offer up your freedoms? Speak for yourself.

Is Denmark nice? My mum's parents are from there and I've always wanted to visit.

>He would prefer us to be like America
Great, I guess you are loving all this deregulation and dissembling of government monopolies the EU brought upon us that just served to lower the quality of life for 90% of the population.

wtf sweden isnt the socialist gold standard, they dont even have big macs for 11 dollars!

t. vänsterpartist

KYS

No wonder they're all fleeing to Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, the despair and depression must be too much.

Depends, if you're a city type tourist then no.

Yes our crime rate isn't as high or often as violent as US but still too many fucking shitskins and niggers in Copenhagen and some of the larger cities. They're small compared to your larger cities of course.

But the country side is quite nice, lots of green.

Idyllic and comfy I would say. We get a lot of rain though.

Yes, deregulation and dissembling of government monopolies is a good thing.
The EU wishes to fill the void though, so fuck them.
Sweden should be ruled more locally so the politicians can't escape their employers, the voters. Voters need to know as much as possible the people they elect, rather know them since they were kids.

Bernie "Lining up for bread lines is a good thing" Sanders

You need to be able trust your government for the system to work.

These days nordic countries all are starting to doubt their government which puts the whole system at risk.

Because Americans are too classcucked to learn about real socialism.
Big ideas like "worker ownership over the means" triggers the MSM and you immediately get labeled a commie.
As for why Sanders equates socialism with social democracy, I have no idea.

>The unreleased "Obama hates whites video"
Fucking nothing

>New big hillary leaks / wikileaks
Fucking nothing

What the FUCK is Infowars doing?
Those morons needs to fucking get their act together.

SWEDEN IS SOCIAL DEMOCRACY (at best), NOT SOCIALISM!
YOU FUCKING UNDEDUCATED SWINES GET THE BOARD REEEEEEEEE

tl;dr read a fucking book

>Deregulation was good but fuck the EU
Yeah, I love getting my car serviced yearly by Asyrians who let all sort of shit slide. And a Danish company with a 20% loss of post rate delivering my post.
>Sweden should be ruled more locally
I agree.

socialism is fucking stupid and marx was legitimately retarded

Because most misconstrue Socialism. In reality Sweden just has strong social policies. Many like to make that out to be evil. It's the gold standard of effect government with strong social policies. Compare these to the policies of the United States, which get far too political, are riddled with corruption, and doomed to slow/ineffective management and execution.

because nowaday socialism isnt about protecting and taking care of the working class but about importing shitskin giving them wellfare at the expense of the native's taxes so they ll vote for you again the next time.

hence sweden being the ultimate socialisme

abolish the government

We wuz NORDS n sheit.

No... you wazn't

You are Siberians in denial.

It was taken for propaganda purposes during the days of the USSR. I think maybe Sanders is just trying to work with what he's given, but I'm not too sure what his real views are.
I'm kind of wary of him, because I don't get what his goal is as far as that's concerned. It's nice to see people finally talking about socialism positively, but I'm not sure how helpful it is when they've got the wrong idea.

State owned roads and railways is best

You really think there is a difference other tahn in private ownership?

Come on.

Socialism is Socialism is Socialism. Adding the word Democrat doesn't change much.

>socialism theory and economics is """""""""""""""""""sound"""""""""""""""""""

Because the average leftist, while being perpetually obsessed with labels, is too incompetent to look up what said labels actually mean. There's literally no other reason. Sweden is decidedly not socialist in any way, shape or form.

I don't get it. Did we cuck each other into agreement?

>It's nice to see people finally talking about socialism positively
No, that's fucking horrible.

Bernie sanders and socialism are horrible poverty creating things.

Dont thw nords have a very different view on life compared to america?

Here in america, for better or worse greed is good. Its what drives our people to make things happen. Yes it means strip mining the planet for that proverbial extra peso.

Now correct me if im wrong, but i understood nords to have a "this is good" mentality. Once you reach a level of comfort anything beyond is just frowned upon personally and socially.

That would be why socialistic capitalism works in your land but not ours. That and the google drain on our society.

>That is, whereas social democrats only seek to "humanize" capitalism through state intervention, democratic socialists see capitalism as inherently incompatible with the democratic values of liberty, equality and solidarity; and believe that the issues inherent to capitalism can only be solved by superseding private ownership with some form of social ownership.


Sounds like a terrible idea.

forgot pic

This is the European political compass
>Sweden is one of the most right wing countries
LMAO

Because the only real socialist country are a pure hell hole (Venezuela) and it's a bad example.´to bring up.. obviously.
So by using the most progressive country on earth that is doing "well", promotes more pro-socialist views since most of the casual people doesn't look up facts.

Why do burgerpoors hold this bizarre view that rich people are just "greedy"? What's so greedy about striving to succeed and not giving people things they didn't earn?

dont mistake communism with socialism
venezuela = commie
danemark = socialism.

>capitalism doesn't create poverty
>what is the third world
fucking kek
None of Sanders policies are actually socialist to begin with, so you have nothing to worry about, leaf.

Because ever since European socialists abandoned the moronic ideas of central planning and state owned means of production, people started referring to third-way welfare state as socialism.

Bottom line is - Sweden is not socialist in the classic definition of the term. But it does redistribute way over 60% od its GDP, which is a lot, even by western European standards.

it's probably your suicide bombers that skews it.

Do you need a 15000 dollarydoo umbrela stand? No one does.

Having enough in the bank that your bills are paid for the next 2yrs isnt greed. Its just future planning. Thers a huge divide between umbrela stand and future planning something that pure stupid greed doesnt understand.

>capitalism creates poverty in third world countries by not rewarding incompetent shitskins with more than their labor is worth
>not giving people something they didn't earn is the same as actively making them poor

Venezuela doesn't have a politburo.

>>capitalism doesn't create poverty
>>what is the third world

LOL

Oh boy I love this argument. It truly is the greatest.

Third world shitholes have had either socialist or extremely economically authoritarian for years so they don't develop any industry that allows their people to escape poverty.

Countries that have opened their countries to capitalism and free trade have slowly worked their way out of poverty.

The third world is basically countries that don't have capitalism, or the only economic activity that goes on is exploitation by the statist IMF and world bank.

The facts speak for themselves.

>None of Sanders policies are actually socialist to begin with
Good, if they were I would expect proud americans to kill that piece of shit.

I dunno about you, I'm still where I was.

I believe it is entirely possible to have a government that works more hands on at a local level, with public services, that concern all citizens being socialised. The EU has ruined what made us great in the 60-80s by opening up for other EU countries to low ball us on things we were all really rather happy to pay high taxes for, because it assured us our original high standards. But we have allowed election after election to lower taxes, and thus our quality of life. We should strive to restore those high standards, and restore jobs owned by Swedish government and companies, to benefit us all.

Look forward to the alcohol monopoly coming to a close, and finding degenerates out in your streets again, just like was before it was regulated.

>Look forward to the alcohol monopoly coming to a close, and finding degenerates out in your streets again, just like was before it was regulated.

Different era, different time. Won't come again, unless we see a really technological decline. But I wish death on Systembolaget as well. Adults should not be treated like children.

Sweden was best when it was one of the most free market nations on earth.

>thinking most rich people spend their billions on umbrella stands and useless trinkets
Newsflash: they don't. They invest it, start new companies, engage in philanthropic activities or try to use their money and influence to shape the world (for better or worse). Money for most of them is just a means to more ambitious ends and they get their kick from more success.

>Having enough in the bank that your bills are paid for the next 2yrs isnt greed. Its just future planning.

It's called theft or welfare if someone else is paying for it. Children can rely on someone else for their survival, not adults. It's a hard concept for socialist to understand.

FUCKING THIS


THE RICH CONSUME VERY LITTLE PERSONAL GOODS IN THE ECONOMY

THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR WEALTH IS SPENT CREATING MORE CONSUMER GOODS FOR THE WORKING CLASS


WHY ARE LEFTISTS SUCH FUCKING RETARDS

REEEEEEE

For the past 20 years sweden was able to enjoy a good life due to having rich neighbors(norway), almost no military and an almost all white population. It's not because of your choice of governance.

> tfw I lived in Crete for a couple of years as orange picker and it was the time of my life

Siesta is great!

It's ez we get cucked by taxes

i'm a wageslave in germoney with a bank account full of juice and all i want is to kill myself

good thing is i will gtfo at the end of the year and hopefully become a orange picker

It was the best when it understood the value of balance between shared growth and property, and private growth and property.

In it's current form it doesn't even do what it was set out to do anyway, because you still have the degenerates waiting outside every morning before opening. But deregulation will just lead to competition that might allow it to be accessed without foresight 24/7. And I don't that will improve the well-being of society.

all cuckservative

30% income tax is the lowest tax bracket for income the highest is 60. While taxes on coorperations is OK the employer pays 31% taxes on your salary aswell. So hiring for simple jobs is not an option really wich is great now that we have so many people without any education and with half a brain. They 70% you probably got from some article I reacall reading it aswell. In that article they also added VAT. We pay 25% on most things that we buy except for some foods. So if you are just in the highest tax bracket and you over 70% of your gross salary will be spent on taxes.
This mixed that we greatly overpay industry workers also make studying less atractive. I can earn the same salary straight outta high school working in some warehouse that a newly examed enigneer or more.

>i'm a wageslave in germoney with a bank account full of juice and all i want is to kill myself
as is the german way

the krauts seem to be (((happy))) with this though.
maybe it's just my mediterranean siesta blood.

>Third world countries don't have private ownership of the means of production
>Third world countries don't have wage labor
>Third world countries don't have capital accumulation
Try again.

>Countries that have opened their countries to capitalism
It's great for building infrastructure, but it can only through exploitation.
Short term you can raise peoples standard of living in certain communities, but too often its still squalor compared to the rest of the world.
It needs a state or some authoritarian body to maintain that relationship. The IMF is just outgrowth of that relationship

>Good, if they were I would expect proud americans
Why is a leaf so irrationally reverent towards americans?

Ah, thank you.

>Try again.

they don't bros. if 3% of the population can have property legally, property rights are not a thing and you do not have a Capitalistic situation.

Wage labour does not require property rights

As for Capital accumulation, every society has this, it's the basis for growth. Socialist countries simply suck at it.

>It's great for building infrastructure, but it can only through exploitation.

Apparently only the government can build infrastructure.

>Short term you can raise peoples standard of living in certain communities, but too often its still squalor compared to the rest of the world.

Except that the continent of Africa has had the fastest growth per Capita then any other country in the 20th century thanks to the societies that were opened to private ownership and property rights.

>It needs a state or some authoritarian body to maintain that relationship.

no it does not. payinbg a third party to intervene in a conflict between people is not a fantasy and happens everyday because government courts are shit at enforcing contracts.

>The IMF is just outgrowth of that relationship

No it's not. the IMF was formed by a coalition of nations, basically it's the first draft for a one world government financial institution.

And honestly, as much as I disagree with it's existence, I don't know why they should be blamed for people using there services.

Bernies plans are socialist of the fascist kind. Don't no true scotsman us
