Are you conflating democratic socialism with full blown socialism? That is most certainly not true socialism.

Evidence in my favor includes the Nordic countries, having a very firmly capitalist society with strong welfare policies. They blow the west out of the water on social outcomes.

But that’s not socialism. That’s exactly what I’m advocating for.

So do you think the Nordic countries are still too capitalist, or do you actually mean to argue that they’re an example to follow? I guess it has to be the first?
