What do we have to gain from transitioning to socialism? Is there any evidence that socialism is able to work better than social democracy in terms of living standards and economic growth? The nordics themselves have tried to transition to a type of socialism in the past. In fact, Sweden tried to collectivize all private firms by turning them over to workers through a gradual process of heavily taxing profits and using that money to buy stock. This failed miserably and was quickly reversed, but not before promising entrepreneurs and companies fled Sweden.
Other types of socialism, like market socialism has failed in multiple nations, like Yugoslavia and Hungary, and every single country that attempted socialism is poorer than its capitalist counterpart.
Why not learn from their mistakes. Why do you continue to insist that we have to transition to no socialism when there is little to no evidence of it working (forget working better than social democracy)?
