Comment on There's Nothing Green About Socialism - HumanProgress

The US is a bad example, and still is a greater example than the communist/socialist countries provided.

These nordic countries are pretty good example of how you can have capitalism with a great welfare state, without going socialist/communist. My guess is their main difference is that they don’t allow the richer companies to lobby on politicians, or at-least not as much as the US does.

The US — poster child for capitalism, creator of regulatory capture for ultimate best capitalism — is a poor example of a capitalist country?

Capitalism + regulation + welfare is the definition of socialism

Capitalism with strong regulation is so good that the Soviet Union used it; China uses it

  Capitalism with strong regulation… the best example would be the nordic countries you believe are socialist.

    Sure, I was using the examples I used to demonstrate that even revolutionary communism isn’t opposite to capitalism
