Of course Socialism works under this criteria. Socialism can only appear to succeed for a temporary amount of time. Where socialism starts from scratch it fails miserably and usually results in brutal dictatorship. In the instances where democracies think they can vote themselves the treasury, socialism starts off great (from the fruits of capitalism), but rapidly is not self-sustaining. It then becomes more radically socialist to try to fix itself, then it leads to brutal dictatorship

It will be really interesting to see how the Socialist experiment in Scandinavia ends.
I am not familiar with the population demographics, but if they had a baby boom after WWII the end could be very very soon.

Total satire my friend, from a total Freeper.
Norway is not Socialistic in the true sense and as long as the oil holds out it will have a viable economy.
The Media in it's desire to denigrate the US holds Countries such as Norway in high esteem to push the success of socialism.
