Debunking Polidice: Arguments Against Social Democracy—Sweden Setting the Example Part 1

In response debunking Polidice on his video titled: 'Debunking 20 Arguments Against Social Democracy' I cover my own arguments against social democracy. In this first part I cover Sweden setting the example of the economic failure of social democracy.

It is important to note that the Scandinavian economies are social market economies, this differs from the common belief of social democrats as they typically believe in strong government regulation over the private sector. The historical example I have given of Sweden setting the example shows that socialism is a disaster no matter how much of it you try to implement into the economy, whether it's full-blown Marxism or even the mixed economy.

I covered previously on the topic issue of what social democracy is with a bit of history which you can check out here:

the video about social democracy covers why social democracy eventually leads to people crying out for more and more socialism.

The argument I covered in both parts on the economic calculation problem can be found here:

• Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFoqXD_o6Wc

As I have shown by example in this first part video, universal healthcare is a disastrous failure and the NHS is no exception to this, you cannot make socialism work, not even in a mixed economy. This pertains to the price mechanism problem which is the economic calculation problem.
