Democratic socialism combined with capitalism has made the Nordic countries objectively the most prosperous and some of the richest countries on the planet. So there's that.

The homogeneity of the society has nothing to do with it. The UK also has universal, tax-funded healthcare, among other things. So does France. By American standards both are socialist.

And defence spending? Sweden has one of the largest air forces in Europe. Finland has one of the largest armies in Europe after mobilization. Their combined population is approximately half the population of Texas.

the density and size of population comparativetely has a lot to do with it as well. america is too spread out for it to work.

Not a factor. See: Canada. Finland. Australia.

It's one of life's conundrums. Why is it that Socialism always works far better in theory than it ever does in practice?

Cause in theory people won't go against the grain, you have unlimited resources, and there are no unplanned for disasters. Everything is better in theory, if only we could all live in theory land instead of reality, we would be in the utopia of our dreams already.

Socialism looks good on paper but doesn't work in reality.

Idk about socialism, but Bernie Sanders wants a system like Denmark and that certainly works.

Yeah, they’re gerbils on a wheel in a very tiny country who get on every day to make the system work. Try that in a country of 330+ mil where most don’t like to get on the wheel....unsustainable in America. Please don’t take economic advice from Bernie.

Groper Trudeau wants to bring in universal basic wage! And he wants to pay for it with online gambling! And when that fails, the good old taxpayer, that is already being crushed in Canada! Canada, the next Venezuela! Venezuela, socialism applied perfectly! Hope you like dog!
