    The Nordic model proves that you can have robust welfare states while engaging in free markets.

    China also shows that there’s some value to market socialism, but I am no economist so idk 🤷‍♀️

    Oligarchy-esque politics, monopolies, and favoring short term gains over long term benefits are the main issues currently, I think.

    I think many people would agree with welfare states like we have under the Nordic model, but many would not agree with Stalin-like Marxist-Leninism, or similarly extreme economic system.
