  4. you should if you are danish, but the video is not directed at you, in the video they only tell a half truth they manage to deny that denmark is socialist which is true, but the fail to state what it actually is a social democracy, is denmark calls itself they dont reveal the second part because that goes against what they want, they want t o glorify capitalism but they want to glorify THEIR version of it, not the version run here capitalism and socialism is not likes its on a and of switch, its just not that simple, there are variants, every country is their own variant of a system if they told the audience that the version of capitalism run in denmark was not the same version that is run in america they would be accepting that their system is the best just "because" and that there are changes which in the past they would have called "socialist policies" which in reality are just normal policies that could be run in a capitals or socialist society they dont want to be like denmrak

  5. its amazing americans created this misconception in the first place its almost like it went like this the left suggest higher taxes and more welfare the right calls it socialism the left notices that social democracies have higher taxes and more welfare the left wants that the left says they want socialism when what they want is social democracy the right corrects them (half way) and tries to pass it off like they didnt start the myth

  6. they are just using disruption arguments its just so that they can continue to fight social democratic ideology by labeling it as marxist

  7.  @nubtor  that would still be more expensive for citizens than the danish system

  8. is denmark communist? no

  9. ​ @jonathanrotem251  ah yes, because the word socialist is in there they must actually be socialist are you going to report my comment for hat speech is i say "bugger"? no? why not? maybes its because thats not a slur anymore maybe social democracies that exist now are not the same as the version that was first thought up however many decades ago "Social democracy originated as a political ideology that advocated an evolutionary and peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism using established political processes" yes, that is what it used to be but what is it now? "Social democracy is a political, social and economic philosophy that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal democratic polity and a capitalist oriented mixed economy"

  16.  @b_uppy  "If Denmark is doing so great, it must contribute more than the US to the United Nation" because of agreements, its been agreed how much denmark should contribute, the US also agreed to how much they would contribute, but who actually held up their promises?

  17. no, we are a social democracy socialism has a planned economy complete capitalism has a free market social democracy is a regulated market our market is good because its safe from abuse and corruption a planned economy cant adapt so it collapses when things change free markets get abused by the big companies regulated markets is adaptable so it wont collapse and is regulated to protect itself from corruption

  19. what colonies did iceland have? oh wait it was a colony the only nordic country to really have colonies was denmark, and it was just a few islands that never brought any money in which is why they had to sell them because they where bankrupt this is like when people attribute the viking raids to modern Scandinavian wealth, its so stupid, if the country at any point after it went bankrupt that means that wealth is gone, and guess what, bankruptcy happened

  20.  @richardthenryvideos  no, thats what the textbook version is, talk to supporters in the US of "democratic socialism" its clear they advocate for social democracy

  22. except your entire comment relies on you not knowing what democratic socialism is, you assume its simply socialism with a democracy, thats not at all what the ideology is, especially not in the US

  23.  @007kingifrit  denmark bad! arg get a better argument, we are not communist
    1
  24.  @007kingifrit  what no? the government mandated minimum wage is zero, we have high minimum wages our unions set them, unlike the US we have VERY strong unions who affect the whole market so there is quite a similarity, all of bernies polices fall in line with our social democracy
    1
  25.  @007kingifrit  unions dont have wages!! they use collective bargaining to raise wages! bernie is a huge fan of collective bargaining if you do something one way or another, its still the same result, wages going up bernies policies are all strictly in line with social democracies like us why are you continuing to act like you know anything? you already said denmark has NO MINIMUM WAGE which shows you know nothing other than what you have been told by like minded individuals, go read up on it, or find an unbiased source you obviously know nothing about our policies, so you arent really in a position to say weather or not bernies policies line up

  30. denmark has lots of unions which keep the wage up america does not have that, because the corporations control the government they can get the government to discourage unions

    1
  33. what democratic socialists? most people on the left who speak of socialism want a social democracy

  34. its both libtards and fascucks who are responsible for polluting american politics by not knowing what socialism is and using it to describe whatever they want to describe as socialism

  48. never met an actual socialist that thought denmark was socialist it only american right wingers and "democratic socialists" that call denmark socialist these democratic socialists are in reality social democrats not socialists

  49.  @raffiart5121  "Denmark is not socialist, no matter how much you repeat that." thats not what they are claiming "It’s a combination of different historical, cultural and societal factors which often determines which system works best for a society." then why do the states invade countries to make the capitalist puppets? "cherry picking a few things from the Scandinavian model and insisting that is socialism and that is what we want is absurd" i know, beacuse then you would be accepting the right wing created myth that denmark is socialist when its not, its a social democracy but saying america should be a social democracy is what should be done

  50. @Urex the cost of living does not matter because you forget that they no longer need to pay for healthcare, education and lots of other stuff that you do, in the end it comes out to a similar number
