Finland is capitalist and kind of solved homelessness, with there being around only 1.3k homeless people in the entire country (population: 5.6m, which means the rate of homelessness is around 0.02%).

I don't think that communism or any ideology is an answer to homelessness, it's pretty much the job for the government and what kind of systems/reforms they implement.

Where does Finland wealth come tho 🤔

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

According to Wikipedia, the service sector generates 70% of the wealth, which is similar to the US.

Finland hasn't really solved anything, as social democracies just push the problems elsewhere

i reccomend watching this video from 5:53 to 8:31 to see the problems with social democracy https://youtu.be/TRq3pl17C8M?si=Cml7fql--qiRgFT_

You should instead read "Riding the wave" which is a serious book that explains why social democracies rely on imperialism using one case study (Denmark I believe but I haven't read it in forever)

Exactly, their wealth comes from the exploitation of the global south through financial systems. Imperialism.
