		<description><![CDATA[Bokmålsordboka: &lt;i&gt;&quot;Sosialisme - (økonomisk og politisk teori om et) samfunnssystem der staten forvalter produksjonsmidlene og fordeler utbyttet.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;
Translation: &lt;i&gt;&quot;Socialism - (economic and political theory of a) social system in which the government manages the means of production and yield benefits.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;


In a planned economy system (communist) manages the government the means of production directly and distribute the dividend, while in a mixed economic system (&lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korporativisme&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;corporativism&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4SdBZiZnt4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;crony capitalism&quot;&lt;/i&gt; [del 1 av 5]&lt;/a&gt;) in all the Western countries - &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_welfare_state&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;including the U.S.&lt;/a&gt; - the government manages the means of production indirectly through laws and regulations, and exploits the common people through taxes, fees and &lt;a href=&quot;http://onarki.no/blogg/2009/10/inflasjon/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the stealth-tax called inflation&lt;/a&gt;, then divide the spoils in blundering.


A welfare state means socialism, whether it is managed by the Social Democrats, the (neo)conservatives or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mises.se/2012/05/31/at-helvete-med-ny-liberalismen-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the neo-liberals&lt;/a&gt;, but it can be a very pale form of socialism as in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heritage.org/index/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and Switzerland&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Neoliberalism was[/is] an economic philosophy that emerged among European liberal scholars in the 1930s attempting to trace a so-called ‘Third’ or ‘Middle Way’ between the conflicting philosophies of classical liberalism and collectivist central planning.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;)
‘Third Way’ or ‘Middle Way’?

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Social democracy is a political ideology that officially has as its goal the establishment of democratic socialism through reformist and gradualist methods. Alternatively, social democracy is defined as a policy regime involving a universal welfare state and collective bargaining schemes within the framework of a capitalist economy.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;)
‘Third Way’ or ‘Middle Way’? Anyone?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Way&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Third Way&lt;/a&gt; is a less totalitarian version of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the Third Position&lt;/a&gt; and is really just nit-picking for distinguishing between these two.

		<description><![CDATA[What an excellent article, thank you so much, Mr. Bawer. I spent two weekends watching all available episodes of Lilyhammer on Netflix. Super funny, side-splitting and very well-made. Norwegians are great people who will overcome the idiotic tyranny of socialism. My own people, Armenians, did. Never give up the fight and remember that you are a nation of brave explorers and charitable humanists such as Nansen who a century ago saved countless lives in the genocide committed against the defenseless Armenian population by murderous Turks. Here is a link to an article about dedicating a statue in his honor: http://www.panarmenian.net/eng/news/83321]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[seemingly O/T, but WTH:
Several years ago i bought Mr. Bawer&#039;s book, &quot;While Europe Slept&quot; and gave it as a wedding present to my cousin&#039;s eldest son. Turns out it was immensely helpful when they honeymooned &#039;cross the pond.
Recently, i purchased Mark Steyn&#039;s &quot;America Alone,&quot; similarly, as a wedding present for that same cousin&#039;s younger son. Not sure if they went on a honeymoon - maybe it skurred &#039;em.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two points: First, a show such as this could never be made in America, which leads me to believe Norway&#039;s cultural elite caste is less reflexively Leftist than America&#039;s. And second, the America that Lilyhammer salutes no longer exists. That America foundered on Leftist shoals for about four decades before finally capsizing on the reefs of Obamunism in the last decade. Norway did not become like America; America morphed into Norway. Or worse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Suggests that maybe, just maybe, the west can recover from its anti-American PC malaise by simply reminding itself who we really are, where we&#039;re coming from and how we got lost along the way. That this fledgling movement got started in Norway would be a big plus. Wishful thinking? Yes, but getting back to the basics, the raw reality of human nature, would be nice and is a pleasant thought don&#039;t you think?]]></description>
