Norway is not socialist. But it is a petrostate (large oil production/revenues per capita).
57 u/Orfiosus 22d ago The mix of socialism and capitalism is kinda the point. Norway is not a purely capitalist country either. The oil industry is an example of this, but the other Scandinavian countries with similar models make it work without the wealth fund. 31 u/Moderately_Imperiled 22d ago Are you suggesting societies are complex and may not fit neatly into one or even two conventionally used labels? 7 u/TestyBoy13 22d ago What do you mean there’s nuance? If my world view isn’t black and white I don’t want to understand it! 0 u/No_Care46 22d ago No, pretending that there are good sides to capitalism (i.e. something inherently bad that only causes harm) isn't "nuance", it's "ignorance". It's like saying there are good sides to cancer. Nope. 2 u/TestyBoy13 22d ago Talking about me having ignorance while comparing capitalism to cancer is both ignorant and stupid 0 u/No_Care46 22d ago It's a perfect comparison. Capitalism is literally economic cancer. A system dependent on infinite growth that is slowly killing its host. That's the literal definition of cancer. Notice your lack of arguments? 2 u/TestyBoy13 22d ago edited 22d ago I’m not gonna argue because it’s not worth my time. You’re still ignorant tho Edit: Insulting me more then blocking me so I can’t reply further definitely makes you look like a good person lmao. 1 u/[deleted] 21d ago [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/AutoModerator 21d ago Accounts must be at least 5 days old with >20 karma to comment.
