Do you support sustainability, social responsibility, tech ethics, or trust and safety? Congratulations, you’re an enemy of progress. That’s according to the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.

      What the hell are you talking about. The nordic countries constantly rate as one of the most economically free countries in the world. Capitalism is everywhere in the nordic countries, but it’s also used to support comprehensive welfare state.

      And yes, I come from the “happiest country in the world” so I guess I can literally see that we are quite capitalistic.

        I’ve had so many debates with people who say “socialism is a success, it works in Scandinavia”.

        And I’m like, when have the Scandinavian and Nordic countries ever been socialist?

          Who are these special “capitalists” you are referring to? Majority of Finnish citizens and literally every major political party here?

              No lol. Also the Finnish health care system is already heavily a mix of public and private sectors because of how our social security system and occupational health care system works.

      The fact the Nordic countries are rated as the most happy in the world proves that abolishing capitalism is a fucking awful idea. The Nordic countries are all capitalist.

      Those countries are capitalist. Research the Nordic Model.
