The debate over whether or not the successful Scandinavian countries are actually practicing socialism is interesting to me.

I think that conservatives should stop focusing on defining Scandinavians out of Socialism and focus on defining liberalism out of Socialism.

It is very easy for people to wiggle around and cling still to the idea that there is something fundamentally still socialist about their system, but it is hard to say that it is actually reflective of the exact vision that the American left has for the country; it is better to say that the things which have made Scandinavian systems successful is not actually as liberal as they believe it is, and to even point out that the threats to the maintenance of the Scandinavian system are all from the fact that it goes too liberal and too left.

Whatever success it has, it has because of the prosperity provided by capitalism and from discipline & conservative factors in the applications of the policies.

As expected, Ocasio-Cortez won. It turns out she's as dumb as a fence post. She started talking about being "inaugurated," but members of the House are not inaugurated. They are sworn in. She then talked about signing laws.

Ocasio-Cortez Proves She Has No Idea What Congress Does

Anyway, the latest is that she cannot afford the rent in DC until she starts getting her salary from Congress.

Ocasio-Cortez rips Fox News for mocking her personal finances, working-class people

Apparently, she's very upset about talking heads pointing that out.

Yea. Because Fox News gives us a tour of all of the DC homes of the wealthy people in congress. That is news, right?

Actually the expense of running two homes is huge. I wonder why Fox did not point out that there are currently about 70 republican house members living in their offices and showering in the gym. When Dick Army was majority leader he lived in his office. I honor her for being forthright about this. It is a good thing that there are still a few middle class representatives.

Just another example of Fox News being "fair and balanced". :roll:

Thats kinda funny actually.

Gotta respect the dedication I suppose. It sounds like going to fucking camp.

I am trying to understand. Democrats love their self proclaimed Socialist candidates, but they deny being Socialist or having ever been influenced by Socialist countries while promoting Socialist policies. Maybe they should decide who they are?
