A gentler form of communism DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM A gentler form of communism

1. Where is it? In every wealthy European country Denmark Norway Sweden Finland The United Kingdom The Netherlands Switzerland Germany France

2. The big idea Combines capitalism, democracy, and socialism. Voting looks the same as a democracy Tries to redistribute wealth more equally, so the rich and poor aren’t so far apart Trusts government to provide quality services.

3. The Welfare State (in Sweden) High taxes Anyone making over $45,000 will pay 50-60% income tax The richest cannot be that rich (the richest Swede has half the wealth of the richest American) Unemployed people the government pays $2,400-$1,110 a month Old people have high pensions and full healthcare

Children Education Free daycare from birth 14 months of paid leave from work for having children Education Free from kindergarten to graduate school Stipend ($) for students

Healthcare Free Provided by government

4. Everything else Sweden has big companies, like the USA Everything else is done by the market. Sweden’s economy does not grow as fast as USA Sweden does not have as many new companies as the USA.
