there would be 2 scenarios you start him in 1 st 47 , season already over 2 nd already up 70 pts to a shit team <| sep |> is that you HA goodman ? <| sep |> When compared to for example , the usa ? sure . however , some would say Scandinavia doesn ' t go far enough , and others might argue that since they are still part of the global economic system they can ' t adres some important shortcomings of capitalism by themselves . For the first , in scandinavia the majority of people still works for wage labor , and even though there are policies in place if you ' re out of work , they still require you to look for work or lose the benefits . Thus , you still have no choice but to accept whatever low wage is offered to you either you starve to death , or you look for a job and accept it , even though that job will not allow you to keep what you produce , and thus we ' re back to slave labor . If welfare was given without caring whether the person is looking for work , this would be different . the laborer can demand a fair price for his work , and he can walk away if he does not like it , which means companies need to offer a fair price , rather than a minimum wage which the worker has to accept or starve . For the second , even though scandinavia might have good social security , they are still part of the global system with companies aggregating more and more power . companies like microsoft , google , disney , etc . are not stopped by scandinavian laws on tax evasion , monopolies , or whatever . So no , even though scandinavian countries are a step in the right direction , if you really want an alternative to capitalism , there is still a long way to go . The problem here , obviously , becomes that we did not define exactly what the excesses of capitalism are , and what conditions we need to have to consider them prevented , so that no matter how social our capitalism becomes , we can always argue for more socialism , as the excesses of capitalism will never truly be gone until we throw the whole system away .
