You have a form of socialism. Get over it. Bernie may be a self described socialist, but he falls far short of being an actual textbook socialist. And yes, what he has proposed resembles Norway's system more than the Soviet Union's.
No we dont. If thats true then capitalism is a form of fascism. Its not something unless it is a system. Socialism sucks and fascism sucks. Admit it. Its never gonna work. You cant change meanings of something just because you lost
Never the less, what you describes in Norway is clearly not capitalism, because they are not controlled by private owners for profit.
Its this
Read it a little bit. But much of the system is due to this party over the years.
"The Labour Party is officially committed to social democratic ideals. Its slogan since the 1930s has been "everyone shall take part", and the party traditionally seeks a strong welfare state, funded through taxes and duties.[11] Since the 1980s, the party has included more of the principles of a social market economy in its policy, allowing for privatisation of state-owned assets and services and reducing income tax progressivity, following the wave of economic liberalisation during the 1980s"

Still considered socialism, not capitalism.
How do i argue this with someone like you
They use the capitalist system. They dont seize businesses to enrich the state interms of distribution. Socialism is belief that profit is theft.
Moderate left view like social democrat labour party is to do the best out of a capitalist system to help everyone, work, welfare and whatever. How can i get that through your head. Honestly :P
How can I explain it to someone who is always creating "I hate socialism" topics while living in a country that is considered more socialist than the US...
Think of it as a coin. It has two sides, heads (capitalism) and tails (socialism), which represents aspects of a country that has a mixed system. You will always have people who will like one sides over the other, and will argue why they like that one side more. This is where you are at.
You are pretending that only one side exists in your country, but professing you like something while pretending it's not something it is. Your country uses both capitalism and socialism theories. Neither are good and neither are bad, it's just people's perceptions of them.
and it's and like a coin that spins in the air
like when the coin is flipping in the air. It kinda pointless vilifying one side of the same coin after professing you like certain aspects of it,
But when you flip the coin you can't till which side is up, and when it lands it has a 50% of landing on one side - which is what people argue over.
Think of it like a coin. It has two sides, both will never meet, but they are on the same coin
It's either heads(capitalism) or tails(socialism) with you, even though the coin has both. Neither are good or bad. It only when you have people arguing for a side which can lead to trouble.
