Script:

Democratic socialism. It’s not the exact same as socialism socialism, because it’s democratic. As though including the word “democratic” in front of a word alters what it suggests.

A number of examples, because I understand you’ll ask: Hamas was democratically chosen as the government in Gaza– despite the truth that the damage of not only Israel, however the eradication of all Jews, is in their official charter. Robert Mugabe, or Bobby Mugabe if you choose, was democratically chosen by a loving bulk in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe! How’s that working out?

Venezuela? Well, Hugo Chavez, kept in mind personal favorite buddy of Sean Penn, to whom he continuously pointed as being unfairly characterized as a dictator when, in truth, he was democratically elected as a socialist.

Well, how ‘d that exercise for Venezuela? Well, it’s now on the brink of collapse regardless of it being one of the most resource rich nations in the whole world. Standard things like eggs, milk, toilet, and flour paper are either too expensive for the typical Venezuelan or simply out of stock … out of stock, mind you … democratically. I understand, a few of you will state, “Well that’s unfair, due to the fact that actually we understood all along it technically was a dictatorship.” Ok– that’s reasonable; let’s proceed to example number two.

Denmark? Ok, here’s the time where you point to an entirely homogenous population about one sixtieth the size of America’s, and you point to that as the blueprint? Ok– let’s go there. Since of the 180% new-car tax, this is a location where the middle class can’t even afford an automobile. And the Prime Minister was so fed up with Americans pointing to it as a beacon for socialist success that he felt obliged to clarify, “I want to make one thing clear: Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy; Denmark is a market economy.”

Ok, great bikini team, and thanks to that nation my armoire now doubles as a bookcase. Speaking of which, the founder of IKEA– let’s be honest, the only genuine cool export from Sweden aside from a few good hockey gamers– left Sweden due to the fact that of the stifling high tax rate. Sweden– excellent place, not bad individuals– however a successful model for a feasible economy in today’s global market?
