You wouldn't call the scandinavian welfare model liberal socialism? then I have to have a talk with my society teacher at my college.
"Liberal socialism" is an oxymoron. Liberalism is the ideology supporting private property rights, socialism is a mode of production surrounding public ownership as the principle aspect of the economy. You're talking about social democracy, ie capitalism with safety nets, and this isn't socialism in the slightest.
At the end of the day, all I am saying is. I don't believe in communism, there is no evidence it isn't just a dream, and never function in reality
Communism isn't a religion, it's a mode of production based on collectivized production and distribution. We know socialism works remarkably well, better than capitalist peers. There's no evidence that continuing on from socialism to communism will fail.
