AppId is over the quota
Often socialists will cite the incredible success of socialism in Nordic Countries, however much of their claims are simply nonsense. Indeed, on much closer review things are no so perfect in these nations and so-called socialist utopias. Not long ago, an acquaintance attempted to promote socialism by evoking the examples of Sweden and Denmark as total success, and perfect examples of how socialism is the future, and the path that even the US ought to take. I completely disagree in the strongest terms. Okay so, let's talk shall we?
Interestingly enough, I live in an international tourist town and meet people often from all over the world. I also travel quite a bit and purposefully ask folks I meet where they are from. You see, I have talked with many people in Nordic countries, even those nations my acquaintance had mentioned. Perhaps, what I'd like to do here is give a decent counter argument, not necessarily why socialism is wrong for the US, most of us realize that, but rather to put an end to this rumor that all is warm and fuzzy in these Nordic Countries.
Now then, don't you remember the shootings of all the socialist leadership kids on that island retreat in Norway? Why did that happen? It's simple, as there is a lot of animosity being swept under the socialist carpet of political correctness. I'd say "destroying the individual's life experience" sums it up pretty nicely - direct and to the point, thus, that is my argument as I stated to my acquaintance, so I thought you should know. I'd say it stands and it's valid.
Specifically, as I said before my acquaintance brought up Denmark and Sweden. Do you remember how the cartoonist in Denmark was targeted by outraged Muslims over his depiction of Mohammed as a terrorist? There were many bombings around that country from that incident. Does that sound like a happy society where everyone is living in utopia? The locals are angry, the Muslim immigrants are angry and the government cannot afford to continue what it is doing in the way of socialist promises to the people.
Sweden is having issues things have deteriorated, many indigenous Swedes feel crowded-out and that their country is being overrun, they are angry at their government and there is severe tension between Muslim-Swedes and those who have generations there. Denmark is also having similar challenges, and the political correctness is causing friction, not yet at the point of what happened in Norway, but it's a problem.
Socialism may have worked for a while in these nations when the population was quite homogenous, but not with the increased costs of all the Muslim immigrants. Further, I'd say you should read a piece in the WSJ on March 27, 2012 titled; "Obama's Europa Complex" by Mark Helprin, which makes a lot of similar points to what I am saying here. In fact, one quote in that article pretty much sums it up; "why emulate countries with high budget deficits, high unemployment, low birthrates, and weak defense?"
What I am saying is this, socialism isn't working in those nations, nor has it been all that great in Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and we all know the challenges with the EU's economy right now, it's not a pretty picture. Should we blame socialism for this? Absolutely, and to deny that would be wrong. Beware of those preaching socialism for the US. Not only has it not worked there, but it wouldn't work here even if it did in Europe. Nothing is similar, we'd be fools to follow Europe off that cliff. Please consider all this and think on it.
