Refused’s Dennis Lyxzén Sheds Light on Socialism for American Voters

Socialism has become a hot topic in the Unites States with Bernie Sanders currently seeking the democratic nomination for U.S. president. One person who has been preaching socialism through his music for more than a quarter century is Refused frontman Dennis Lyxzén, who took a little time to break down the sociopolitical philosophy for Heavy Consequence and the American voting public.
As Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist, battles Joe Biden, a moderate Democrat, for the chance to face off against Donald Trump, the term “socialism” has been debated among politicians, pundits and voters alike. Some have gone so far as to call it a form of communism.

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. From the Preamble of the Industrial Workers of the World

Socialism has failed time and time again, And More than a 100 million have died from socialist dictatorships. And the Nordic countries are mixed economies, not socialist.

Dude, that 100 million number has been debunked for decades. But if we are to take it at face value, and ignore the fact that what is being proposed here is not a 'socialist dictatorship', 100 million in 70 years is pretty tame compared to the death toll capitalism creates in the course of a decade, due to war, pollution and artificial scarcity.

@the skittles man stellar rebuttle. Take you a whole to come up with that?

[@KaisarReinhard]

Capitalism has killed more.

@Saul Goodman Great Britain's colonization of India is a prime example. Food was grown in India and all of it was exported to Britain to be sold for profit, leaving none for the locals. An estimated 4 million lives were lost per year. The life expectancy was only 40 years under British rule, and that immediately rose after they pulled out.

@Saul Goodman I don't even know who Tharoor is. I assume you're talking about the 1943 Bengal famine. Literally the first paragraph on Wikipedia says: "Historians usually characterise the famine as anthropogenic (man-made),[9] asserting that wartime colonial policies created and then exacerbated the crisis. A minority view holds, however, that the famine was the result of natural causes.[10]"
