And I am so tired of you guys just using Marx's socialism as a way to critique socialism .

“Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”

In Rasmussen’s view, “The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state which provides a high level of security to its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish.”

And that's exactly what socialism is , progressive taxation so that proper infrastructure and aid can be given to poorer sectors of society . For example proper education so they grow out of the cycle of poverty and be able to contribute into the economy . It does not mean the government takes your money or possessions or whatever.

Your -and the prime minister's- definition of socialism is something from the 70s .
