What? The Scandinavian countries will be the first to tell you they aren't Socialist. Or Western European countries. That's a common myth spread here in the US in defense of this nonsense.I didn’t get around to reading this until just now but it’s 100% wrong, and is completely opposite of history.
Not a single one of the countries you mentioned were socialist first and Communist later. There was no stepping stone- all of those countries, with the exception of Venezuela which really doesn’t quite fit with the others, became Communist instantly following bloody revolutions. Communism is not a political system that eventually creeps up on you: in the history of the world it has never been established without a violent takeover of the existing government.
I’m no fan of socialism, or Democratic socialism, because I don’t believe these type of systems are inefficient and tend to stifle human ingenuity, creativity, individualism. I believe in capitalism. But your critique that it causes “dead bodies to flow” is just confused. Most of Western Europe is socialist or has been, particularly in Scandinavia. None of these countries ever “evolved” into Communism. It doesn’t happen.
