One might think that our experience with the coronavirus has given Americans a scary foretaste of radical socialism. Empty shelves, shortages and limits on basic commodities, economic stagnation, and all of this combined with a sustained assault on our privacy, our freedom of assembly and our religious freedom. We have endured on a temporary basis what some socialist societies typically provide on a permanent basis.
Yet the socialist gang is still out there — Bernie and the Squad — touting the virtues of socialism. And they’re pulling the Democratic Party in their direction, with Biden now climbing on the free college bandwagon and embracing the socialist agenda packaged in the Green New Deal.
Democratic socialists like Bernie and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez insist that their brand of socialism is modeled not on the failed socialisms of the past, but rather on the one place where socialism seems to work: Scandinavia.

That is the real reason the Dems want socialism, ask Bernie about his family!
Exactly. All their followers are chumps.
“Hugo Chavez’s daughter is the richest woman in Venezuela with a net worth exceeding $1 billion.”
Does she suck it better than a Kardashian?
The Scandinavian countries aren’t socialist.
Because Scandinavia is not socialist. They are capitalist nations with a heavy tax burden for social expenditures
How can that be? Why hasn't Maduro taken most or all of it, "for the people," of course? Isn't that the way it is often done?
From the article: “Democratic socialists like Bernie and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez insist that their brand of socialism is modeled not on the failed socialisms of the past, but rather on the one place where socialism seems to work: Scandinavia.”
That’s been the socialist mantra since the fall of the Soviet Union - ‘Socialism hasn’t failed, it just has been tried right.’
Literally the CHEAPEST thing for the USA to do would be to buy a one-way ticket to Caracas-and a condo-for all the socialist wannabes in the USA
The Democrats’ socialism looks more like Venezuela than Scandinavia.
And for the record note history of the Obama&CO years + 50.
The USA cannot be Scandinavian socialist because not everyone is a blonde in this country. Scandinavian socialism would not work here in the US with the hodge-podge of races and cultures.
Hodge-podge of races and cultures always pop up during an election year democrats have played that game from day on.
Socialism has been proven no matter how it’s used it never works,even feral dogs don’t share the meat.
