I mean Denmark isn’t socialist. It’s capitalist with sane regulations to protect the people, which is ALSO something that the American right has labeled as communism, despite the fact that you do, in fact, still have a free market economy with plenty of private ownership in these countries. It is IMO the best system we currently have, because it has good elements from both socialism and capitalism. Capitalists can take risks and profit off it, but nobody has to be in poverty.

Right, I agree with you, but these knuckle draggers use Denmark, Norway, and Finland as their primary examples of socialism.
