What do you expect to accomplish that doesn’t involve marxism or tyranny?

Limited elements of the nordic model. (Which is capitalism, but with a slightly expanded set of safety nets), as if you look at the OECD chart provided earlier, countries that implement that have a much quicker rebound time for their low-income families being able to break the poverty cycle.

Even if we went with the full-blown Nordic model (which I'm not advocating for), it still wouldn't be any form of socialism or communism, as the Nordic model isn't a centrally planned economy, nor does it have an expansive public sector with compulsory participation in said public sector.

I think it takes a certain kind of person to deny that systemic racism exist in society.

Yeah...someone capable of thinking.

Just explain it. Explain where in the "systems" and "structures" it resides. Systems aren't infinitely complex. They're extremely finite. We should be able to logically and easily strip away everything that isn't "racist" within a system and find where the racism resides.

If you can't do that...you're blowing hot air.

The term “nordic model” is very racist, by the way. It’s close to bigotry. Better not use it again.
