Both Norway and Venezulea are gas pump countries. Both are socialist as well. One has a higher GDP per capita than the US and the other does not.

Also Norway is very diversified whereas oil is about 95% of Venezuela's economy.

The Myth of Scandinavian Socialism
and for a whole host of other reasons I could cite. Norway is closer to the petro-state model of the middle east than it is to Venezuela. It's a false equivalence to point to both as examples of the same economic model. -

Semantics. Then we need to reach an agreement in the Tug about what is "socialism" and what is "communism". Yella Snow rules have always been that if there is wealth transfer payments involved- e.g., welfare state in the US and the social democracies of Europe - then this is mixed economy, socialism. State ownership of means of production and heavy central planning = communism.UW_Doog_Bot said:
