“They fundamentally don’t care if their ideas work” is pretty rich coming from the people who keep giving massive tax cuts to the rich while accumulating massive national debt.

Except their plan is to starve the government.

Which is actually where most “progressives” in America are. It is a strawman that progressives want Russian, Cuban, or Venezuelan style socialism. We want Nordic style “socialsim,” which is essentially capitalism with better safeguards.


It’s pretty simple.

If you get sick - your taxes pay for getting you better.

If you want to go to Disney? Get a job

That’s not how they sell it for the most part. “Rising tide lifts all boats.”

“We told them it would trickle down!”

You can start by cheating on your taxes, since that is rampant over there..

If we are still talking Scandinavia, my impression is tax morale and compliance are very high. That seems to be true of Northern Europe in general. People get value back in terms of services and infrastructure, and they trust the government with their money.

The U.S. is 20 times larger than Sweden and has a population roughly 35 times larger.
Sweden's population is roughly that of NYC.
Sweden has a king.
Norway has a king.
Denmark has a queen.

The US has NoKingsDay.

Sounds like Tempo and Nichi want to restore the monarchy here.

The Minneapolis City Council members wouldn't approve a resolution to normalize relations with Cuba.
Cuba, Mn is a ghost town 200 miles from Minneapolis but it's probably not that Cuba.
The Minneapolis City Council wouldn't approve a resolution to divest from European institutions who support ICE.

The US imported our king and his name is Mirkovic. And he has about as much power as the King of Sweden

The United Kingdom also has a Monarch. Perhaps you weren't aware the role of the Monarchy in Social Democracies is cultural and symbolic. Wealthy families, the top 2%, in the USA wield more actual political power. President Donald Trump wields more political power.
