  1.  @benjamindover7434  He calls himself a democratic socialist. We call it social democracy.. Capitalism do not run our society.. Capitalism does not build roads, run schools, or hospitals. Capitalism does not run the court systems, or our prisons. Capitalism is allowed to exist here under certain conditions. Besides, Capitalism has got nothing to do with free markets, simple trade, or produce. Capitalism is based on money speculation where the goal is to maximize profits and minimize the risk... You don't want to believe me, but just look at your own stock markets So to illustrate the difference between Norway and USA, I want to use our healthcare as an example. Went to the hospital about a month ago to have my stomach checked up. They pulled out some polyps some years ago after a decades of stomach issues. Finally, after spending the better parts of ten years, working abroad, I had it checked out. Didn't pay a single dime. It was a public hospital! Do you get the same treatment from your private health insurance company? How much do you pay in private insurance every month? Do you have to pay deductibles? How about pre existing conditions? Or are you on Medicare or Medicaid? We also have paid sick leave, paid vacation, unemploymence, public pensions, public day care, paid maternity and paternity leave.. These are nice Socialist things we have because we voted for them. I know how much you hate those things and want to change our lives to be more like yours and tries to convince me that any of those have "Capitalism" written all over them.. In a way, you may be half right about something. Our public oil fund has been increasing by investments in the stock market. With changing luck.. Some on less than ethical companies...The intention of such gambling with public funds is to increase them for pure common good purposes, and not to give as free checks to CEOs, private business owners and their future heirs. The difference between our social democratic society and your capitalist society is that we as voters and citizens have an actual say in what our resources are being spent on.' What options do you have? "Take the job or leave it! Besides, I own your congressman!" And then you get to work for a boss with no say, and only a meager wage as he runs off with all the profits to buy himself a politician and hide the rest in Cayman Islands. I suggest you do some research yourself on Norwegian history unless you think you are such an expert that you know everything there is to know.. including how we spend our public funds and resources......In the meantime, I can continue to lecture you on how process of your corrupt system.. lol
