But the "semi-socialistic" policies people advocate are the usual Nordic policies of free healthcare, free education, proper maternity leave and safety nets. Or were you talking about some fringe discussions? I don't think anyone is planning to seize the means of production if that's your worry.


Yes, more fringe.

In the general case, I think a lot of the items you listed are good ideas.

The devil is in the details, as always.
