What is the SucDem model? Am not sure how state-owned enterprises work. If the State owns a factory, for instance, and pays it's worker, then the State taxes those workers aren't they just paying the State back? Multiple that by all state-owned enterprises, wouldn't it be easier just pay less, don't tax except non-state workers & non-state made good & services and just give them what they need (food, shelter, healthcare, etc). Then their actual pay could be spent on keeping small businesses (non-essentials) going. This is not sarcasm, I really don't understand it.
Just short for Social Democratic, I could've used Dem Soc but there some small discrepancies between the two although they a much more alike than different. The model is implemented in the Scandinavian countries, Canada, Portugal, New Zealand, Japan, S. Korea etc. Just about every wealthy nation that implements it has considerably better ratings on a range of metrics from education to health to life expectancy to crime and so on.
"Am not sure how state-owned enterprises work"
We have some here in the states but it's a bit confusing to be honest. You can think of it on a spectrum ranging from an organization like NPR (I'm not sure if NPR counts as one though) to the Tennesse Valley Authority to the United States Postal Service. But historically the US has generally decided to run with the private business model and state owned enterprises often have to compete with for profit business ventures.
"If the State owns a factory, for instance, and pays it's worker, then the State taxes those workers aren't they just paying the State back"
Haha this was something we used to complain about back in the Army. It never made sense that I was paying federal and NY State taxes even though I was station outside of NY. Yes I agree it's kind of dumb.
"SucGen" (Freudian slip or actual name). I think what may work for those countries, for a variety of reasons (smallness of size or population, homogeneousness, strong work ethics & discipline, etc.). I think we are too diverse along cultural, economic and political spectrums to get there except around the edges.
"State-owned enterprises" I don't know how it works in other countries, but from what I could find is that TVA & others are self-funded, no taxpayer money. Their rates are set by a board & OK'd by Congress. Almost like a non-profit. Corp. for Public Broadcasting (NPR & PBS) get some taxpayer dollars, but not the majority of their funding.

Thanks for conversing. I'm learning so much.
