A spouter from Upper Twp says "The following countries are social democracies; Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany". Wrong-O. Sweden is a constitutional monarchy. Denmark and Norway are a Parliamentary democracies and also have Kings. Finland is a parliamentary representative democracy. Germany is a democratic and federal parliamentary republic. Capitalist economies with high taxes to pay for social programs is NOT Socialism. Most of what left wing spouters think and say is wrong.
