Love that photo. Sums it up perfectly.
Every like ten years we hear of some new "Socialist golden child" and the media and left point and praise it and say that is how it shoudl be done and it's the best country in the world.
Then 10 years later that very country is in a crisis, a total dictatorship, fleeing immigrants, ect. That place all of a sudden is "not socialism" but some new country that is doing it is the new golden child.

"Perfectly" = Don't mention every single developed nation on the planet, and only focus on dictatorships and developing countries.
Here's a list of fictional countries from Tolkien's books that all have socialized healthcare:
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Canada
Chile
Czech Rep.
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Iceland
Israel
Italy
Japan
Luxembourg
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Slovenia
S. Korea
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
Turkey
United Kingdom
That's every single fictional developed country in the world. Except for one. USA. The richest country in the history of the world, and also the only one where healthcare and financial bankruptcy go hand in hand. Sounds fictional, right?
When people talk about social democracies, they're talking about things like the Scandinavian model. Countries that are still capitalist, but have socialized healthcare and often times tuition free college.
But every time I watch a Fox News segment it's as if they don't understand this, or don't want their viewers to focus on that, so they mention Venezuela instead. A dictatorship and developing nation that were overdependent on their oil with no plan B...
⚠️
Anyway, this is the Democratic presidential nominee topic.
If you're going to talk about this subject then do it in accordance to what the actual discussion is.

the actual discussion was about democrats calling for the abolition of private healthcare which I've called socialism, for some reason shadow completely ignored that this was my point and went off into some ridiculous strawman
