  - Socialism = Autocracy, dimwit. - Iggle - 4:24pm 11/4/25
    - Over 2 million autocrats are voting in NYC for mayor. That’s called “energy.” - conorlarkin - 7:16pm 11/4/25
    - Tell that to the Swedes. They would be surprised. [NT] - Chris94 - 4:30pm 11/4/25
      - Sweden was a stagnant socialist hellhole until market reforms in the 90s [LINK] - Iggle - 5:16pm 11/4/25
        I’m aware of all this. It’s still a democratic socialist country. [NT] - Chris94 - 7:48pm 11/4/25

      - Maybe you could have just said "Scandinavians" and posted the thought once. [NT] - LanceManion - 5:00pm 11/4/25
        Maybe I don't care what you think I maybe should have done. Maybe. [NT] - Chris94 - 5:05pm 11/4/25

        You get a failing grade on this one. Prof. - Hensou - 4:49pm 11/4/25
        Norwegians are much more socialist than Mamdani. A+ for me. [NT] - Chris94 - 4:59pm 11/4/25

    - I believe that NYC voters are street smart, and defer to their voting choices -- aka "democracy." [NT] - conorlarkin - 10:17am 11/4/25
      - There is nothing whatsoever "smart" about electing Mandami. [NT] [IMAGE] - BaronVonZemo - 12:39pm 11/4/25
