    The most admired nations on the planet, according to Forbes Magazine.
    Marxist morons like you must be desperate to avoid the truth. I just don't see people knocking down the doors of Scandinavian countries to get in.

    Do these policies look familiar?

    Giving power to the people
    Ending the corruption of the traditional political parties
    Rewrite the constitution
    Reshape the Supreme Court

    Subsidized food to low-income families
    Wealth redistribution
    Government Health and Education Programs
    Income equality
    Fighting poverty and inequality
    Antipoverty programs
    Wage and price controls
    A ban on laying off workers

    The most admired nations on the planet are socialist..... according to Forbes Magazine:

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/vickyva.../#32f88c63ea0c

    ^^^All of these nations are "socialist" according to the Republican Party
    Leading Republicans Refer to Western Europe as "Socialists"

    ....(and let's not forget, rightwing message boarders have spent years calling western Europe "socialist")......
    Lately it seems that not a day goes by without a Republican presidential candidate portraying Europe as a socialist nightmare. Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum paint a picture of the Old World as unfree, strangulated by bureaucratic and inefficient welfare systems, and unable to reform and modernize. To these Republicans, Europe seems to be the antipode to everything America is meant to be.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.310f3f267a8a

    Leading Republicans Call Western Europe "Socialist"

    Newt Gingrich has constantly accused the president of being a "European Socialist", often adding in a reference to an all-but-forgotten community activist from Chicago, who died in 1972, but whose Democratic-leaning writings are thought to have influenced the current president

    "I am for the Declaration of Independence; he is for the writing of Saul Alinsky. I am for the Constitution; he is for European socialism," Mr Gingrich told voters in Florida last week.
    http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16583813

    Bill O'Reilly noted rightwing blowhard: Western Europe is basically socialist

    "I received a letter from Rhonda Hallett who lives in Jacksonville, North Carolina asking me to define Bernie's doctrine of Democratic socialism. Ok. That's basically what some countries in western Europe have, a political system that limits personal income through taxation in return for cradle to grave payouts from the governments. That's the trade."
    http://nation.foxnews.com/2016/02/14...atic-socialism

    Mike Pence is on record referring to western Europe as "socialist".

    when Representative Mike Pence, Republican of Indiana, denounced “European-style socialism,” in his speech at the conference on Thursday, the jeers from the crowd did not exactly signal an openness to debate it on the merits.

    DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT HIS GANG-BANG RAPE FETISH?



    DEMOCRAT presidential contender Bernie Sanders described Socialist-ruled Venezuela as a more suitable exemplar of the American dream than the United States.

    In an essay lamenting what he described as the intractable income inequality of the American economy, Sanders declared: “These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger.”

    Despite receiving trillions of dollars in oil revenue over recent decades, Venezuela is in the midst of an unprecedented economic collapse, owing precisely to the redistributionist programs that Sanders has extolled as a model for the U.S. economy. Grocery store shelves are barren, hospitals have no access to vital medicines, rationing is under way, and riots have begun to coalesce in the streets of Caracas.

    Ecuador’s Socialist President, Rafael Correa, left a country mired in a deep recession and facing a currency crisis. Like Venezuela, Ecuador has been ruled by a socialist government that was able to subsidize its social engineering projects through oil revenues. The end of the oil boom left the government without the means of paying for its programs, and as Correa prepared to leave office, he used an earthquake as a pretext for a huge tax increase.

    Argentina, the third of Sanders’ economic role models, is a country with immense natural and industrial wealth that has seen its economy strip-mined by a kleptocratic government. Under President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the government’s official statistics agency, Indec, released a steady stream of fabrications to disguise the country’s decline – which were accepted at face value by credulous people like Bernie Sanders.

    Now that Kirchner is out of office, Indec has corrected the statistics, and the story they tell of the country’s economic reality is frightening.“Commiserations Argentines began a recent essay in the Financial Times, “You are now poorer than the Chinese, Bulgarians, Azerbaijanis, Turkmen, Mexicans, Malaysians and Gabonese, not to mention your beloved neighbors in Brazil. All is not lost, though. You are still a smidgen better off than those in Botswana and war-torn Libya.”
