I'm half-tempted to tune in - 'Bernie Sanders Wants to be America’s First Twitch Streamer President'

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

I suspect there's never any shortage of would-be Stalins, but I don't see any of them getting much traction in the US today. (and no, Trump isn't one of them. Not even close.)
Why not the Canadians or the Scandinavians?
Neither of those countries is remotely socialist, much less communist. They both have capitalist economies - just with much stronger social safety nets than you see here in the US.

Of course, that comes with tradeoffs. You think immigrating to the US is hard?

Try Canada.
Okay, yeah, those are more Social-Capitalism, but they seem to have their stuff together, at least slightly, better than we do, at the moment.

Like I said, they probably aren't going far enough for some of these delusional idiots.

Canada has 1/10 the population of the US.
