    This guy just drawed out socialism and it sounds amazing. Still, people are afraid of it even though the most well off countries in the world are socialistic countries (northern Europe)

      As someone from Northern Europe -Sweden specifically - we’re not socialist. We’re a constitutional monarchy, with a parliamentary system, and we’re very much a capitalist society. We have a decent amount of social safety nets (which are being eroded by the right-wing powers that be as we speak), and strong labour laws (dito).

        I believe we in Norway and Denmark identify ourselves much more as socialists than Sweden.
