PragerU's Otto Brons-Petersen vivisects the leftist delusion that Denmark is socialist with facts like (a) they are ranked one of the free'est market economies in the world (less taxes/regulations on business) (b) they have strongest protections of individual property rights in the world (c) no minimum wage laws (d) they became wealthy, then became a welfare state (not the other way around) (e) then their rate of growth flattened because of the burdens of the welfare state, and there was backlash, and they started privatizing things like their Social Security, Healthcare, and even education. So while Denmark does have absurdly high burdens (taxes), and they blow it on social spending, they don't control the means of production, or they would have collapsed long ago. And even those systems they did socialize a bit, are only succeeding, because there's private variants that are better, to offload the failing public variants.
