>give up sovereignty for gimmes
ok
>people who are less likely to protest against the government taking away their freedom are also less likely to respond negatively to a survey on their quality of life
SHOCKING
You mean the more white a country is, the happier they are?
But those countries are all capitalist
These countries had low concentrations of subhuman low IQ shits, even pure anarchy would work on them.
kek, you faggot shit hole comes in even lower on the freedom index than socialist countries. Bahahaha!
Because they take the most anti-depressants.
>muh freedom
See
With 50% plus tax rates for the rich. That's pretty socialist no matter what words you try to use to disguise it.
nice flag you're hiding, Schlomo. Happy hanukkah.

What you listed is a research on the strength of the economy. It has nothing to do with freedom whatsoever. I have less opportunity to participate in the market than a kraut, but I'm immeasurably more free, economically.
Happiness is not important on a global scale; wealth, scientific innovations and military strength are far more important. Let's see how happy citizens of those countries are when they get invaded by the chinks
Sorry, I'm whitr my bad
those aren't socialist countries
the people do not own the means of production
what they ARE are well-to-do ethnically homogeneous countries that have, until recently, been very hard for outsiders to immigrate to
>50% income tax makes a country socialist
Kill yourself brainlet
Do you motherfuckers think socialism is what you read in the books?
you guys really need to shut the fuck up about muh scandinavian socialism
fun fact: none of the dominant parties in all scandinavian countries are called the socialist party or refer to themselves as socialist, it's SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
It's a socialist, or left leaning thing though.
I can tell you I am not happy.. Not happy at all.. Hang on, someone is at the door. ............
No Comrade, I was not just on Jow Forums, no Comrade I think Communist Canada is best Canada.. Yes Comrade, help yourself to the last of my potatoes. Hunger is the working mans burden. Thank you Comrade for honoring me with your visit.
Communism Is Best, Comrades.
>It's worth noting that the US was ranked 58th.
Baahahahaha!
Sorry sweetie, socialism has never been tried, remember?
>Do you motherfuckers think socialism is what socialism actually is
wut. nigga, you high.
You can argue there are "socialist things" within capitalist democracies, like government owned roads or Norway's oil industry, but that doesn't make the country "socialist". Not when the majority of people are employed through capitalism.
I mean you're Bulgarian which means the biggest part of socialism you see is the "corrupt police and government officials" part of it. I dunno if I'd say you're socialist, though. Just suffering from aftershocks of Russian meddling.
None of those countries on top of the list are socialist. Only good commie is dead commie.
neo liberalism under the disguise of socialism is really working out great for the industry
clap clap
>Socialist countries
We're not socialist. We're "socialist". That means full on fucking capitalism except we can afford to set aside shitloads of money on welfare and benefits, partly through taxes, partly through natural resources like oil.
We're not communist, we're not even in the same fucking ballpark.
Then go live in one of those "socialist" countries, faggot. Go ahead, do it.

You don't actually know what the word socialist even means, do you millennial?
50% tax sure as fuck doesn't make it capitalism retard.
Wow. No isreal at all. Really stimulates the cerebrum.
I think you know much better how life is in socialist countries as you live in a country that used to be socialist.
"Index ranking of happiness worldwide, 2013-2015"
how about a re-check?
>Not when the majority of people are employed through capitalism.
And what the everloving fuck do you think socialism was? You got educated, you picked a field, you did your internships, you got a job and got paid. You applied for different positions, were rejected. There were government jobs like teachers, who were appointed to places. This extended to prestigious engineer jobs occasionally. The extremely subtle differences were that your salary was less, but your job was virtually guaranteed, as the state took more tax and made sure to keep job openings and paid internships above the amount of people in working age. This is a very rough way of putting it, but it's still the gist of it.
>I mean you're Bulgarian which means the biggest part of socialism you see is the "corrupt police and government officials" part of it. I dunno if I'd say you're socialist, though. Just suffering from aftershocks of Russian meddling.
What the actual fuck are you on about, modern day Bulgaria has 10% flat tax, government is miniscule, we pay tax on nearly nothing, everyone owns their own home, there's very little regulation anywhere. Socialism extends to some shit we never bothered changing, like 2-year long maternity leave (which should fucking stay) or how you need a doctor's permit to start work (that one's funny).
We were socialist 30 years ago and some of us remember it and we remember it's really not whatever the fuck you retards are brainwashed into thinking via the movies. It was social democracy+. A system like any fucking other.
>Socialist Countries are Happiest
So Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba are the happiest nations? That's a new one to me.
I do and the differences with "social democracies" like some of the scandinavians, the french and the british are near non-existent.
index rating of world happines right now
None are socialist
pretty accurate to be honest
All those countries were sabotaged and embargoed by the U.S though.
>Australia
>Socialist
Where burned down houses on tiny blocks cost $1mil+, where the Chinese can come buy state assets, where people on minimum wage can't leave their parents home. Hahahahaha
>Hahahahaha
This place went to shit before sanctions even started (Obama, 2015).
According to burgers, having socialised healthcare and other safety nets = full blown marxism.
It's not because they are socialist. It's because they are majority germanic.
There is quite big difference in nominal GDP's between Nordic countries and ex-commie countries despite rather massive subsidies from non-ex-commie countries to ex-commies. Purchasing parity correction balances it out a bit, but standards of living are quite different.
Not a single one of those countries is socialist.
Well that sucks, I guess the sanctions would have made things even more shit though.
Looks like an index of white
-ness
>people still being hooked up to the bait despite him showing this
Anons pls.
It's all just white countries you stupid commie lmao
Yep
That comes from wholly different sources and has nothing to do with the system. They possess natural resources and as a collective know how to utilize them. We possess a lot fewer and are too individualistic to use them long-term for the greater good.
It's nothing to do whatsoever with a system of any sort.
"""socialist"""
>Socialist Countries
the word you're looking for is "demographically homogeneous" OP.
These aren't socialist countries they're democracies with heavily funded social programs.
That's rich coming from a CHIMP
>murrikans in charge of knowing what socialism is
It's okay, the movies will eventually tell you what to think
>recently
The means of production aren't owned by the people... But by the state. In the counties shown, the state doesn't own the means, but the capital, by taxing according to how much you earn, then redistibutes the wealth into social interest programs... Like healthcare, education, etc.
Like, pay attention in highschool dude
Taxation has nothing to do with workers owning the means of production, idiot
>workers owning the means of production
That's a meme written in a book.
Yeah, but nothing like not ruling a country like nigger criminals to avoid all this mess.
yes we all know it never really happens and what happens actually is the state nationalizes all companies and business but neither are happening in OPs "Socialist" countries
Canadians aren't really happy, its one big sham we put up in actuality we're miserable.
>white countries are happiest
There fixed it for you
>countries
>Puerto Rico
The absolute state of our education system
muh family of weavers
the industrialist took away the means of their production.
lets kill 200 billion people because of this
hurr durr
>the state nationalizes all companies and business
Yeh and the state is run by people who create or run these companies and businesses. The ownership shifts to different people and everything remains the same.
Well technically under democracy, the people should control the government and thus own the means of production, but that doesn't really happen.
>The ownership shifts to different people and everything remains the same.
well not quite because markets and price signals as a tool to guide production and distribution are removed
i honestly dunno bout the bottom 2 but all the others are capitalist
We should be thankful it doesn't
I disagree with that.
Where is Venezuela faggot ass? They are the only true socialist country right now. They are more socialist then all other countries. The European countries you listed are not even true socialist and the only reason they are able to afford to lean towards socialism is because the U.S. pays for all their defense and military. If we stop supporting most of the counties on your list they will collapse within a year from spending all their money on gibs for Mohammed’s.
No they're not. They're weakened, in some areas. Which doesn't change much.
As much as the EU pays farmers to destroy their produce, like western countries do nowadays, socialist states used to occasionally produce worthless crap to keep people employed. It's MAYBE a matter of scale, but not overly so.
Bullshit graph starts at 7. Ranges up to 7.5.
And where's bongland? We're socialist sucks too, you know.
THESE ARE ALL CAPITALIST COUNTRIES
LMAO!
Are you trying to say that Puerto Rico and Costa Rica are more capitalist than US? Or is it that your theory just holds up when ever it wants to?
WHERE IS CUBA? HOW ABOUT CHINA?
This is just a strawman in reverse. Rather than creating a negative misrepresentation of your opponent's position, then establishing a false equivalency between that and their actual position, you're creating a positive misrepresentation of your own position, then establishing a false equivalency between that and your actual position.
Free (less regulated than the US in most of these cases) markets + high taxes is not socialism.
The thing I don't understand is why people who actually support this model insist on weighing themselves down with the baggage of socialism. Perhaps they themselves have fallen victim to the reverse strawman argument? Socialism requires much more than just redistribution. For example the means of production and exchange are collectively owned. This is not true at all under the Nordic model, where production and exchange are private, with only a portion of the end result being collectivised. Even "Social Democracy", "Democratic Socialism", etc reek of trying to use the Nordic model as a foot in the door for "real socialism" rather than an appreciation of the Nordic model in it's own right.
There is also the issue of "Cultural Marxism". Sweden is still OK relative to the rest of the world, but has taken a nosedive relative to it's past self since going full Kalergi. Germany, Belgium, etc are also in free fall. The Nordic economic model seems particularly vulnerable to leftist social policy - when an incompatibility between leftist social policy and Nordic economics arises, it's always the economics that get scrapped in favour of generic neoliberalism.
DEAR LEADER'S NORTH KOREA?
So happy. :^)
Really? So if I call up the PM of Denmark he'll tell me his country is socialist?
Answer: No. Denmark, like the US, is a mixed economy. They have higher redistribution of wealth than we do but more freedom of business. Commies are walking strawman fallacies.
They're also the most white faggot
>As much as the EU pays farmers to destroy their produce, like western countries do nowadays,
Thats just the EU, NZ is a complete free market where business is guided by markets on what to produce and the state has other role in it
What's also important is which fight you're fighting. capitalism vs socialism or nationalism vs globalism - the natural allegiances are different depending on which is prioritised. Imo nationalism vs globalism is the more important fight. It's also the reason big corps (capitalist) are all shilling far left causes these days - it's not that corporate bosses are all cryptosocialists, or that socialists are all hypocrites per se, but rather that these groups are really globcaps and globsocs prioritising the nationalism vs globalism fight over the capitalism vs socialism one. Ofc if globalists win, it will ultimately result in a capitalism vs socialism fight later, since by definition there can be at most one global system. Natcaps and natsocs actually have a cooperative advantage here since they do not need to worry about an inevitable follow-up conflict - nationalism allows different people to live under different systems.
So, they collapse if the USA just ignores them. Great system you have there.
>Denmark
>socialist
>has privately owned businesses
>socialist
You’re so stupid, I unronically wish that communist rats like you had your free speech taken away.
Didn't he quite literally make a video response to the US saying that his country IS socialist?
This literally just shows that the whiter the country the happier it is
But then we couldn't make fun of their retardation!
not addressing my point at all. but given that you're surrounded by 50% of turks and tzigans it's no wonder your capitalist aspirations amount to eating sunflower seeds all day
lmao enjoy your miserable, alienated, and celibate existence in Nippon, gaijin
Because they are fucking stupid.
Norther European culture is more individualistic than southern or eastern European and Aside from Norway, there isn't that much natural resources to go around.
It has a lot to do with Nordic countries being extremely capitalistic despite having high taxes. Lack of corruption helps as well, that is legacy of having protestant christianity instead of catholism or orthodoxy as cultural basis. It has everything to do with half a century long socialist experiment you had.
ah no ...
it just don`t add up
>its the socialism!
>its not the demographics!
>why aren't any of these other socialist countries happy then?
>uhhh I don't know but its not the demographics
