Letter | Socialism is not communism
Originally published: 5 September 2020 17:26
Socialism equals communism is an important Trump campaign slogan.
Anyone familiar with history will understand that there was never communism in the Soviet Union because it was always ruled and still is ruled by a dictator. Venezuela is proclaimed a socialist failure. Once again, it was ruled by a dictator (Hugo Chavez).
What they never talk about are the Scandinavian countries – Denmark, Norway, Sweden – where they have free medical care, free college, six weeks paid vacation, child care, sick leave, maternity leave and the happiest people on the planet. Sure, 30% tax, but so what.
