This is what frustrates me about so much of the dialog around DSA. Folks use “socialism” to describe an absolutely massive range of policy regimes.

I think it’s highly variable chapter by chapter. Some chapters are just focused on specific issues like Medicare for All, others are using welfare state capitalism to onboard people into a Socialist end project.

You’re totally right. Multiple people have clarified that. According to multiple Swedes, it’s “a social democracy with a market economy.” However you define it and categorize it, what they have seems to work incredibly well for them.

Racial homogeneity may make it easier for them to generate sufficient political will for generous safety net programs unlike the US, where political parties have weaponized racial animus to distract voters from structural class inequities.

Venezuela, Greece, Cuba, are failed Socialist countries Any attempts to whitewash socialism that don’t acknowledge the horrors of central planning & constraining of the free market are lies

Low corporate taxes. Low capital gains taxes. Good for growth. But high income taxes and strong safety net.

"Capital gain tax" seems a more nuanced topic than either 'high' or 'low.' Fairly high cap gain tax rates (>60%) on rental real estate would encourage land *use* and discourage speculation, whereas lower cap gain tax rates (25%?) on business start-ups makes sense too.
