    Are you calling them socialists because of their name, particularly NK? That’s part of the propaganda. They’re not, at least not in practice. The Nazi party did the same thing.

      They are more socialist than anything else on this planet. And they are among the few countries that do call themself socialist.

      There are no socialist countries on Earth, and have never been, as there’s always been at least some amount of private ownership. But North Korea is easily the country with the least private ownership, so that’s the one least far detached from socialism. It’s a bit ridiculous calling that one socialist, either. But if not even NK is socialist, then what does “socialist countries” even mean in that context?!

      The claim was that socialism is “from the countries doing better than you.”
      So, what are those countries that are doing better than Finland?
