If if you want to argue with "whatever wingers" by saying country X like Norway or Sweden is socialist, don't do that pls.

Last true mighty power of socialism in North Europe was DDR which was a horrible shitshow people tried to escape with a risk to their lives, it was so bad.

The four bombers responsible for the 2007 london bombings were all British, brn and bred. The perpetrator of the Westminster attack this year was a Briton, born with the noticably foreign sounding name of Adrian Elms. Stop trying to make these incidents about scary foreign immigrants you loving racist turds. It's not about immigration, it's about you being scurred of brown people. You're pathetic.

A single generation of residency doesn't erase the fact that there is an assimilation problem, even if it takes a generation to develop. Whether it's immigrants or the kids of immigrants, you have an issue on your hands with demographical contributors. There isn't some magic wand that makes it stop being a cultural and immigration issue because one generation passes.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Regarding that NYT graph showing recent terrorist attacks in Europe, for which Norway wasn't shown -- that attack was in 2011, and the graph only goes as far back as Jan 2015.

Notwithstanding the 'bodycount' metric itself is bullshit, and they should instead be looking at the reactions each attack triggered, which is why they happen in the first place. Nobody's trying to destroy Britain by killing every single person in it.

The Nordic model is social democracy which is closer to what a lot of European countries do, and I agree it's not socialism as inherently defined, but likewise a lot of right-wingers mistakenly assume that 'socialist' means 'Soviet authoritarianism with central planning.'

Definitions be hosed yo.

I disagree, we need to forcibly put the most dangerous ones into poorly managed camps. If we isolate them from society and keep them out of sigh there is no chance they can do further harm, furthermore *farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt*

Those are ideas held by socialists, yeah. But they are far from unique to socialists and can be embraced by people and parties and ideologies who you would never call socialist. Beign a country that has many of these as policies does not and has never made a country socialist in the sense that you can call it a "socialist state", which I implies something more, like an ideological or constitutional foundation.

Foreign socialists (particuarly Americans and British) should stop claiming Scandinavia as their own as a socialist state, because its annoying and embarassing. It's like Mormons claiming everyone they liked throughout history as a Mormon (well not exactly).

I'm going to say the movie Four Lions is correct about who becomes terrorists. It's not going to be the weird regressive openly fundamentalist weirdos who carries out attacks. It's going to be relatively young disaffected guys who want to "do something", "make a mark" anything to "make a difference" for Islam and/or Muslims.

The regressive fundamentalist is a societal danger in his own right, but he's probably going to be happy enough about measuring his beard and locking his wife in a cupboard while playing football in a robe and not really bother with blowing himself up.

So what is an example of a socialist state then, shitposter Randarkman? In an essay of under 1,000 words please explain how Nordic social democracy no longer counts as socialism. Take your time. In fact, take the rest of your life writing it, so we never have to read one of your posts again.
