Also they are conspiracy theorists extraordinaire. Economics to socialists is a giant capitalist conspiracy meant to keep the wealth in the wrong hands.

Meaning that if you want to call someone stupid but don't want to prove why they are, you can just false-equivalence that label on them and be done with it?

But just so other people won’t believe you:

https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/denmark-tells-bernie-sanders-to-stop-calling-it-socialist/

“While speaking at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, the center-right Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said he was aware "that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism."

"Therefore," he said, "I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model

“The Nordic model refers to the economic and social policies common to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Sweden). This includes a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level with a high percentage of the workforce unionized while being based on the economic foundations of FREE MARKET CAPITALISM”

Just like how Bernie wants free market capitalism.
Conversation usually goes like this
Democrat: Wouldn't a government takeover of healthcare be nice?!
Republican: Thats socialist!
Democrat: Actually it is Democratic Socialism. Works quite well in Nordic countries. There is a large welfare state and government owned healthcare.
Republican: DENMARK ISNT SOCIALIST!
Democrat: When did I say that?!
Republican: Shut up libtard commie rat!
*Disclaimer: I dont agree with Democratic socialism.

If you're experiencing trouble getting evidence for the truth accepted, have you considered the possibility that your evidence isn't actually complete?

And see my meme above: we still want the social programs that Denmark has, and that fact that it's still basically capitalist is half my argument.

Enochthewatcher still insists it is socialist. That is what I am arguing.

Haven't you figured it out yet? "Socialism" is a word that means something completely different every time someone uses it because it's become nothing more than a political football. There are people so radical about this that they call Mussolini a socialist, which just should not be right at all. So is Denmark socialist? Maybe. Depends who's asking. What does socialism even mean anymore anyway? When everything's socialism, nothing is socialism.

but that's ok sweetie.
I still think you one sexy beast <3
