This proves that they were both lying, or ignorant, or both. I'd say both.

Yep!
But each
new
crop of Socialists think THEY will do it correctly, and it will work. But of course it never does, because it goes against basic human nature. They're idiots.

You have no idea what the hell you are talking about–as usual.
Socialism means workers own the means of production and have some level of democracy and power at their jobs. There are worker collectives operating under Marxist principle throughout the Western world that have successfully competed against privately held businesses and they employ tens of thousands of people. -

Yes I've seen this one. They're so
INCREDIBLY STUPID,
that they don't even realize that
THEY
are actually the Fascists in the USA! They're holding signs saying
NO FREE SPEECH FOR FASCISTS.
Denying free speech is the very DEFINITION of Fascism!
And then when the guy asks what fascism is, they dodge the question, cause these morons don't really know. They're just stupidly going along with the other morons in the crowd.
But I love these bozos, because every time they do a violent protest, Trump gains more votes in the 2020 election!
Go Antifa! You're really HELPING Trump. Thanks!

I hear ya! More examples of displaying how tolerant they are of people who are "different," eh? Yep, tolerance all over, yessiree. One great big tolerant bunch.
Free Speech is okay ONLY if you agree with them. Notice, too, that they often have VIOLENT demonstrations, including brutal attacks and physical assault. Meanwhile, what doesn't get coverage are the conservative "protests" which are more like peacefully standing around without chucking rocks at people who disagree with you while they curse at you from across the street and yell into a megaphone.

You don't have to look at Scandinavia for an example of an extremely progressive income tax working, you just have to look here in the good old USA. Go back to the 50s, when the top earners were being taxed at 90+ percent rates. The middle class was thriving and the economy was booming. Socialism works.

That was NOT Socialism. That was a ridiculously high set of tax rates from the Democrats.
And the main reason the economy was booming was NOT high taxes, it was the effect of the end of the war, and everyone starting to spend.
And BTW, every time taxes have been cut, the economy has taken off like a rocket. First under Reagan, and now under Trump. That's we now have unemployment
at a 50 year low
, and the DJIA
at an all time high.
The economy is booming, and it's mainly due to
Trump's Tax Cuts.
Do you even
know
what Socialism is? It doesn't sound like you do.

Do you even
know
what the article you linked to was about? The whole thing was making an argument against Scandinavia being a socialist economy based on what it labels its flat tax system. It was about taxes. Read it.
And BTW, it was the tax cutting policies that began with Reagan that has resulted in the massive income gap between the wealthy and everyone else and the death of the middle class. The economy is only healthy for those at the top. This is only considered a success in Republican's eyes.
