The problem you're having stems from the conundrum of himself also having no idea of what he's spouting ad-infinitum.

At this point he's now on auto-bot mode to do nothing more than bump his post count.

I only do that when responding to idiots and clearly that poster was asking a reasonable question deserving of an answer and in no way resembles an idiot for asking the question or implying more information is needed for understanding.

As a lifelong Democrat I think it is important to note that Denmark is NOT a socialist country.

It is a regulated market economy.


The Danish Prime Minister was clear on this point during the 2016 Presidential campaign:

"I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy,” Rasmussen said.

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

Denmark's economy stands out as one of the most free in the Index of Economic Freedom and the Economic Freedom of the World. Now it is true that through public policies and transfer payments that the inequality in Demark is among the lowest in the developed world.

But nobody should be fooled into thinking socialism is the answer. A regulated market economy is the best system for creating high standards of living.

Which politicians? Who do they support? I guess I'm ignorant as I tend to only get my news from opinion sites on cable such as Fox and CNN.

I've not seen any mention of these leaders in Venenzuela on CNN, MSNBC, or FOX. All I've seen is all Trump all the time.

It is a social democracy, - free market economy with tax payer funded social services.

Socialism = economic system where the government owns and operates the means of production.

Social services = activity aiming to promote the welfare of others.

Nordic country's are suffering from extremely low birth rates, so their populations of Nords are plummeting. to offset the shrinking populations, they are importing Russian mothers who are pregnant.

Republicans are pushing for new socialist leadership to replace the democratically elected one saying it would replace socialism with democracy.

Of course such agenda is not democracy, and nor will it replace socialism.

Don't get my message wrong. Fox is still far better than other leftist media but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be called out when they try to fool people.

Guaido is every bit the socialist that Maduro is.
Why would it be better to support one over the other when they are both going in the same direction ? When supporters of Guaido are talking to media they talk about democracy. Leaving off what they really are talking about is Socialist Democracy. The same thing and path to destruction as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders and most of the democrat presidential hopefuls want for America.

If not knowing what Guaido and his supporters are really talking about it sounds much different. Trish Regan of Fox Business coverage of Guaido leaves a false impression.

Fighting Communism with Socialism won't save Venezuela
Fighting Communism with Socialism won't save Venezuela

More seriously, the replacement of a communist thug by a different kind of socialist will not eliminate the the predecessor to Maduro, in the Armed Forces and intelligence service. Even with amnesty, they would stay behind, with help from Russia, Cuba, and China, to destabilize any new regime and spark a full-blown civil war, perhaps leading to calls for U.S. military intervention.


( notice Maduro's VP is the same glassy eyed lunatic we see with leaders on the left in the US )
Who is Juan Guaidó
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics...t-of-venezuela
I guess Guaido is less socialist than Maduro and Chavez, its all relative. I get the feeling Guaido is the Theresa May and Angela Merkel kind of socialist, while Maduro is the Fidel Castro and Kim Jong Un kind of socialist.
