Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza.

“Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to Gitmo,” Tuberville, a Republican, said, calling Mamdani a “thug.”

        Not socialist but social democracies.

        Socialism is when WORKERS OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION.

        These two countries are both free market privately owned economies. They both have extream(for the USA) regulations when it comes to how private enterprise can operate but at the end of the day they are both 100% capitalists.

        Hmm…

        Sweden is a highly developed country ranked fifth in the Human Development Index. It is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy,

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden

        Sweden has achieved a high standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Sweden

        As a unitary state with a constitutional monarchy, Norway divides state power between the parliament, the cabinet, and the judiciary, as determined by the 1814 constitution.

        The Norwegian economy is an example of a mixed economy; a prosperous capitalist welfare state, it features a combination of free market activity and large state ownership in certain key sectors, influenced by both liberal governments from the late 19th century and later by social democratic governments in the postwar era.
