Sweden is genuinely more capitalist than the US
Lmao wut?
Could you elaborate on this wild sentence that just fell out of your pocket here?
Company tax rate USA: 21% Company tax rate Sweden: 20.6%
So their tax is lower and their public services are better? Makes you wonder where all the US tax revenue is going…
Norway is Social Democratic not Socialist… 🙄
I think that’s part of the joke.
But Cuba is & it has free & high-quality healthcare that surpasses USA’s
As if this makes any difference to an average Republican and some Democrats. US people panic when they hear socialism even if it’s refered to social democratic state which essentially is a hybrid between liberal economy with socialism so that the worst part of the two systems are removed or diminished.
That is to say that USA wouldn’t need to turn into Soviet Union to become a social democracy and could have benefits of both systems. Unfortunately the brains have been in the washing for way to long by the wealthy elites as they are the only ones that would lose in such system.
At least half of us don’t know the difference…
Hell yeah brother!!! Freedumb!!!
Norway “socialist” Lol lol lol lol lol
Look at the lie of nordic “green” economies
Profit to the center of capitalism and disgrace to the periphery
So this is exclusive to Norwegian companies? Companies from the US don’t pollute in other countries?
Need some more straw, man?
The image refers to Norway as being a socialist country, so I used the news as an example
the image refers to the average hog’s image of Norway. and also when people say socialist when they refer to european countries they mostly refer to policies, not the entire economic system. universal healthcare is an example.
Companies do not define countries.
Your example is fruitless.
The types of companies that are allowed to operate and the bounds in which they are allowed to operate absolutely define countries. Norway has a capitalist economy, which allows this kind of company to thrive.
Do you really believe that Norway is a socialist country?
Yes. Socialism and capitalism can go hand in hand. No need to focus your 1 brain cell on one or the other. Grow a few new ones and consider having healthcare socialized for starters.
I could feel myself getting dumber reading this.
They just pointed out that Norway is also capitalist, they didn’t say that the US isn’t. (You used the strawman here)
“Socialist hell”, the joke is about what Americans say every time someone says that maybe, just maybe the government could invest the tiniest bit into the well being of its people. Often enough they lose their shit, calling you a communist for suggesting an idea that’s not even barely left.
Do you actually not get it, or just using the opportunity to dunk on Norway? Cus like, fair I guess.
That’s the joke…
Our (norways) greatest industry is PR.
I like having guns, saying what I want, large roads, complimentary water, my own car, larger homes, and living in the most powerful nation in the history of the world. Having been to Scandinavia, I can say confidently that the U.S. is definitely better in these respects. I would rather have the things I have instead of get over half my income taken by the government in exchange for cheap mediocre healthcare.
That being said, their public health is quite impressive, I will grant them that.
I’m losing it seeing comments not getting that half the joke is that Americans don’t know what socialism means.
& the American liberal will call you a tankie & ban you They’re lost causes
On the other hand, there is also people replying to those comments challenging the claim that Norway is in fact capitalist
