Socialism works in places with more or less homogenous populations. I always hear Norway/Sweden have universial everything. Yes they do cause taxes are sky high and the culture there is more or less the same.

NYC is not Norway.

People in Norway let babies sleep outside the supermarket when they go shopping. When you have that level of trust in a society, socialism has a fighting chance for sure.

I think the establishment messed up big time here and Mamdami snatched it up.

Trust only comes from building it. I think you're confusing cause and effect here. Norway has a higher trust society not because of who they are but because of how they treat one another.

I think you are cherry picking a few examples that you’ve heard about and inferring so so much into how they work based on generalizations at a country level. Not a very solid base.
