@libertaslibertas5923 I agree that unhinged and unrestricted capitalism is absolutely a bad thing (any ideology put to its extreme is bad) but given how muh historical perspective we have, socialism (even in small doses) has been proven to be dentrimental to any society that implements it. As for teh comparison between Denmark and the USA, that's not a very good one. For one thing, the USA is almost 100 times the land mass of Denmark. It's economy is also bigger and its population is larger. So comparing them on social systems and economic systems doesn't hold up. Then there is also the fact Denmark, like much of western Europe, uses a mixed economy with more focus on capitalism but with a heavy welfare state system. They were socialist at one point, like other European countries but they reversed that after it was hindering their economy. Even today, the USA spends far more on its own welfare system, entitlements, and public spending far outpaces that of Denmark and much of western Europe due to aforementioned larger economy and population. ALthough, given Denmark's immigration issues, I think their welfare state might be under increased strain.
