“Socialism works! Just look at Scandinavia.”
That’s what some say.
Free healthcare, free college. That's what some say.
But, nothing in Scandinavia is free. It’s all paid for by capitalism, and 45% tax rates on everyone.
Neither Denmark, Sweden, or Norway seize the means of production.
They’re capitalist countries with big welfare programs.
Markets are open. Businesses are private. Capitalism funds everything, then nanny governments tax the hell out of everybody.
Under socialism, the state owns the factories. In Scandinavia, the taxman just takes almost half your paycheck. Big difference.
So when leftist lunatics point to Scandinavia as their model, ask them why their policy proposals look nothing like Scandinavia.
Scandinavia doesn’t have rent freezes, but Mamdani says he will.
Scandinavia doesn’t have government-run grocery stores, but Mamdani says he will.
Scandinavia’s corporate tax rate is around 20%, but Mamdani wants to raise NY's.
Mamdani isn’t selling you socialism. He's peddling ephemera.
