Are Nordic countries really socialist?

51. I think the leaders do get it.

Granted, most people call themselves democratic socialist because it’s the hot thing to do right now.

But I think the leaders of the movement do actually want businesses to be owned by their workers rather than Capitalist. We even have a few posters on DU who are honest enough to admit that that is what they want. I disagree with them but respect their honesty.

Everyone here always says that Bernie only wants us to be like the Nordic countries. I have heard him tout those systems but have not heard him say that workers should not own the means of production.

He is a smart man and knows the definitions of words. When he calls himself a socialist I am going to respect him enough to take him at his word.
