The Nickel Giant ft. Liv Agar

Hah. Claims it's because "they aren't trying to create a command economy like China". These jokers along with a lot of people on the left always forget that these "social democrat" countries have the state owning a little over 50% of all their industries. Where the fk do they think these countries multi trillion dollar sovereign wealth funds come from? It's from the profits of those state industries that get sent to the sovereign wealth fund rather than getting paid to private sector shareholders. Since the state owning industry rather than the private sector owning it, is what they are so fearful of... these nations are actually as communist or command economy than "communist China" where the same key industries like energy are state owned. Hell... even extremely liberal economic countries like Germany have the state owning key industries and have famously even started owning key industries in neoliberal pilled countries like the US and Canada. I always remind people that the 3rd largest mobile telecom giant in the US (T-mobile) is German state owned. Although recently the government of the US state of California has quietly begun building out massive California state owned industries with the most recent example being state ownership of over 3000 miles of long haul fiber optic telecom backbone.
