Yes.
There isn't any real commies anymore.
Scandinavian countries are socialistic in nature.
Quote (JessiWan @ Aug 2 2023 03:23pm)
A lot of Scandinavian countries are democratic socialists and they seem to do well.
This line of thinking is nonsensical and here is why: the word Socialism here is referring to two completely different ideas. Scandinavian countries are NOT socialist by the proper definition. They are hyper-capitalist states with multiple nationalized sectors and a strong welfare state.
Socialism is by definition, the means of production are owned by the people as a whole. This is not the case for any Scandinavian country
