Thomas Paine and the Ironies of Social Democracy, Elizabeth Anderson

[@Who-vt9oh]

Social democracy is the best socioeconomic/sociopolitical system there is.

[@lucijafurac3691]

She's a great speaker.

My guard went up when I realized this is coming from U of Chicago

@Pinko Commie Rag Something something CHicago boys, something something Milton Friedman

Idealism and reality are 2 different things , idealism takes force to implement.

17:00 But it turned out that this guillotine was not for Pain(e). No pun intended.

1:12:47 The claim that Norway has high levels of entrepreneurship is false. I've just lived there for 13 years trying to run start-up businesses. Nearly impossible. Everything fails due to high wage bills and taxes.

Do you have some relevant statistics and sources, or is this just your experience?

[@scotchwhisky6094]

Social democracy is the best thing since sliced bread and butter.

[@skronked]

It's a Soviet satellite state

[@neoepicurean3772]

@@NYGGJELEBEITE Are you kidding me? Have you seen the failure rate for small businesses? I just started a new venture over there, I forgot how bad it was... My partner is a first timer doing business in Norway, he can't believe it. Some friends of mine invested 2 million in opening Lekk in Bergen last year - busy every night and lasted three months. Business as recognised in many other countries is nearly impossible in Norway.

It definitely used to be like that. I assume that she is just using old sources.

[@phoneapps3124]

Needs lessons in public speaking. Revolutionary times commands great thinking and speech which she fails to convey. Tom Paine would not be inspired!

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

She sounds better here. I just watched her on Chris Hedges’ show On Contact and she seemed weird.

[@timjanssen6846]

Nothing weird about her. She's a wonderfully articulate and brilliant woman. What's your problem?

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

Tim Janssen I don’t have a problem. Apparently you do if it’s not okay for people to have an opinion. She’s a brilliant woman who looks like a freak in this interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH-roYSBZricm5Y

I enjoyed that interview
