The means of production are pretty privately owned in Denmark.


The point is the results of the worker's labor are more fairly shared in Denmark than in other places.


That doesn't make Denmark a socialist country.


You keep confusing socialism with totalitarian communism despite everyone here telling you that.


Where do I do that? The two are not the same, but socialism is also not the same as social democracy, for example.


you're conflating socialism and communism again...


No I am not. Means of production being under social ownership instead of privately owned is a core characteristic of socialism but it does allow limited private ownership (some property, perhaps some small businesses but certainly not large industrial capacity). Denmark's industry is privately owned - if Denmark were a socialist country, that would not be possible or at odds with Denmark being socialist.
