Funny that you don’t mention Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, Finland, Canada, etc.

All of the countries you mentioned have more than one political party and regular elections. Not really the socialist ideal

Agreed. But when American politicians self-identify as socialist they are virtually all referring to democratic socialism, a la Scandinavia. Yet detractors (either from ignorance or deceit) typically point to Venezuela or the Soviet Union.

My biggest issue with the idea of free education, free medical care, etc is that it isn’t FREE. Taxpayers pay a huge % of wages already. Not to mention those who don’t get the medical care needed because they’re too old, too sick, too risky=they die

There are definitely difficult choices to be made. But let’s have a dialogue about those choices instead of name-calling.

Brian, I don’t think I called anyone a name & if you perceived my comment as such, I apologize. I am a discussion person, not an attack/name caller person.

Sorry, Tammy!! I wasn’t referring to you at all. Rather, I was talking about the tactic of using the term “socialist” as a slur that invokes the USSR and Venezuela - as if those are the only models of socialist-type policies.
