What the fuck is that bottom graph supposed to be

Political illiteracy.

Pie graphs should be illegal.

Empirical results from asking each other in TPUSA what kind of "economic system" the two countries are.

What about Venezuela is socialist?

Social democracy funded through the oil barrel and the drum.

...

lol those fucking idiots not knowing that venezulea is a state capitalist economy even though the government proclaims its socialist and every single libshit paper or blog spend the last decade using venezuela as an example for why socialism works even though it was entirely reliant on an oil boom though I guess back then people peak oil had arrived

Denmark's total tax rate is 50% of your wage (this includes road tax, income tax, consumption tax, and so on). These taxes fund welfare projects such as free basic healthcare, free education, basic income for those without living expenses, and the usual infrastructure. It is capitalism with redistribution controlled by a centralized government. This somewhat works because of the small population (5 million people) and the comparatively large bureaucracy (15% of the total population is on a government payroll). Denmark being a first world country undoubtedly has an importance. The government has plenty of deals with large corporations to keep productivity high while profiting of western imperialism (aided Bush and Blair in Iraq and Afghanistan) and North Sea oil money.

Hmm

So are nordic countries capitalist or socialist? Is Cuba or Venezeula socialist?
Can Holla Forums get something clear?

Nordic countries have extensive welfare programs funded by high taxation. Their mode of production is still capitalist. They are not socialist.

Noted.

Next time I will tell that to every retards who praise socialism by pointing out the nordic countries.

leftypol will always tell you this, but on the wider internet a lot of socialists are social democrats, which the Nordic model is.

People who are communists will universally be fitting leftypol's definition of socialism.

How does that compute?

Should I tell these "socialists" that they are retarded?

You're better off telling them that they're social democrats

This, we need to dispel this "socialism = the state" meme, just politely tell them the difference.

If you're willing, just let them know that whilst you support social democracy, that it isn't socialism.

Marx didn't state any difference between socialism and communism, and used the terms interchangeably. Lots of socialist parties ended up being social democrat by getting dragged to the right and the Marxist Leninist parties took the label of communist and associated with and were funded by the USSR.

But socialism can have a state, communist cannot.

Socialdemocrats used to be socialists until they sold themselves out in the 19th century

What part of "Marx used the terms interchangeably" did you not get? Stop drinking the M-L koolaid.

I'm picturing people in labcoats analyzing samples of soil.

M-L definition of socialism: State regulated capitalism used for the betterment of the working class. This is because the market forces in capitalism are great for pushing innovation. Communism comes afterward when state capitalism has been abolished.
Other definition: Socialism is worker controlled means of production. If you add "production for use value only", then I would consider this valid.
Marx's definition of socialism: Socialism is the same as communism, the words are interchangeable. There are however multiple stages of communism/socialism, based on scarcity levels and how advanced the means of production are.

fuck statism, I think I wanna go back to anachro primitivism and local communism
