I live in the united states and people here who seem to hate socialism are always the uneducated ones and the ones who vote conservative and dont go to college. Americans dont seem to want a government that looks after the nations interest like nationalized health care and nationalized college and other commodities that ought to be run by the state for the interest of the nation, its working out so well in scandinavia.
If anything, by voting for capitalist politicians like trump, the american people are voting against their interest as example with the doing away with net neutrality and this tax bill cutting taxes for the wealthy.
the "left" in american doesn't offer them alternatives. Same thing policies with but with more browns/women/gays.

That is particularly why I consider myself to be aligned with swedish democrats or the alternative for deautscheland in Germany because they are more socialist.

It isn't clear to me why a bunch of social imperialists like AfD, who want to re-militarize the country and provide welfare benefits (funded through the ravaging of the third world by a newly assertive Germany) to people meeting narrow criteria are preferable to neoliberals who have demonstrated just as much willingness to send troops overseas and are at least willing to stop hiding behind the mask of redistributive policies to reveal their class character. AfD, through it's ideological mobilization of sections of the petite-bourgeoisie, may well prove harder to unseat.

The wealthy and highly educated believe in the power of personal interest and entrepreneurship more fervently than any poor person. They worship it; poor people might utter a phrase that suggests such things but ask them about the policies they support and they sound like commies.
Grayson Thompson
Is there anyplace to find out what AfD's economic policies are? Everyone is focused on them being against refugees and islam it's hard to find something that explains what their actual economic agenda is. I thought they were staunchly neoliberal?

And why don’t the Japanese? Similar question

"Sliding scale of socialisticness" is a bad meme and you should feel bad.
Thomas Wood
The japanese are capitalists, as a resukt of that they are one of the most overpriced nations on earth
