I was just in Denmark recently and it seems like that’s what they have: a capitalist society but regulated by very socialist policies like (really) high taxes. Makes sense to me - I’m probably just not using the right terminology.
Denmark is a capitalist country. There is nothing socialist about it. Socialism is when the workers own the means of production (directly or otherwise), not when a country provides social services, that is a social democracy.
There is no such thing as capitalism regulated with socialist policies. That’s ridiculous and only shows that you don’t know what those terms mean

High taxes is not socialism
see, this is the problem - I’ve avoided thinking about politics forever, and now I’m not sure about the main concepts 😂
I’ve always equated high taxes with socialism - so long as those taxes go towards services and redistribution of wealth.
OK - so what *is *socialism? (the main tenets)
