Description

Bernie Sanders tells us that we should be more like Sweden, Denmark and Norway. He softens his old beloved term socialism by calling it "democratic socialism" as if blending two awful terms makes one great term. We explain what kind of government actually exists in Scandinavia and what Bernie and his ilk actually long for. Caution: socialism is violent and ugly.  Links to related articles:

The Counterflow Podcast is a weekly show featuring discussions and interviews with people who are outside of and critical toward mainstream liberal and conservative politics. Counterflow challenges the conventional right/left binary and is concerned with the more important distinction of free vs unfree. The show features thinkers from all backgrounds, who do not fit into the narrow framework of fashionable opinion. The show addresses cultural and lifestyle issues as well as philosophy and politics. Host Buck Johnson (formerly of the Death To Tyrants Podcast) is a musician and firefighter and has always had an interest and drive to go one way while everyone else runs the other direction.
