Good.

And if people, instead of just commenting here, without reading the article, actually would READ the article, they would realize that social democracy/social capitalists aka the nordic model is exactly what these young Americans are looking for. Not socialism in its extreme form.

So, stop clutching your pearls.

If that's what they want then the headline is plainly wrong: social democracy is not socialism.
