Norway: “We’ve modified capitalism.”
Americans: “Is it communism tho?”
Adorable.
10 786,75 dollars more in earnings... every year.
To answer your question: everybody in a unionized job gets the same percentage wage increase, not the same amount of dollars. And no, we don't all start at the same wage, it varies wildly between jobs and depending on your education
And duration for how long you have been working as well, as in Seniority as one who have 10 year seniority gets better paid than one that just started.
Union you say eh? Sounds awfually close to Soviet Union. You dont fool me Stalin
Norway has nothing to do with communism in any way, shape or form. We fought and defended Finland in the Winter War against communism, and would surely do so again if it came at our door steps.
We did not. There were Norwegians fighting there, just as there were Britons, Danes and any other that went there. But there were no big mobilization to defend Finland in the Winter War.
@@poskeegget8043 You are correct, there was no big or official mobilization, and I apologise if the way I wrote it might have given you that perception. In hindsight the way I should have worded it was: There were alot of Norwegian volunteers who went to Finland to fight Russian Communism expanse and defend Finland on behalf of Finland.
@@bobmalibaliyahmarley1551 Yeah, Swedish sent most help though. Even though they were officially neutral. They sent 1/3 of their fighters to help air defence in North Finland and 12 000 Swedish volunteers came to fight as infantry, 8000 in front line. With them fought also approximately 700 Norwegian volunteers. They were responsible to hold one part of front in Salla area, which was at that time relatively stable and calm area. Freeing 5 Finnish, already battle hardened, battallions to strengthen other more crucial parts of front. And Sweden sent also rifles, machine guns, artillery ans ammunition in significant numbers. All help was more than welcome at that time. What many don't know or remember that Soviet Union attacked Swedish Luleå and Pajala during winter war, luckily only minor damage. Swedish sent also money, food and other suplies worth over 500 million Swedish crowns, which was more than Finlands budget for one year at that time. I'm Finnish myself, I just thought to give some idea of situation back then.
"Is that getting close to communism, though?" is the most moronic statement I have ever heard.
This ten minute rule sucks. The main point is missing, and it has nothing to do with trickle down economics, which is a proven failure. It's about regulating the market in a way that makes it as fair as possible, and thus as competitive as possible.
You missed the whole point.. Norway is doing well because we cooperate and have strong unions.
Not because of trickle down economics (which doesn't work)
Trickle down economics is an opposite system instead. Low state intervention and competitiveness through low salaries. That's an evil system.
i see norway in the title, i upvote.
It´s just the increase in % pay that´s the same, we have a similiar system in Sweden.
Well, you should see the whole video, it explains a lot!
Yes, the higher paid jobs doesn't pay as much in Norway, but because of everybody earning enough we can have "free" school, healthcare and a support program for those loosing their jobs. That means that because everybody earns enough to pay taxes, everybody gets to use this system.
I'm about to be done on a bachelor's degree on a University, but instead of paying for school i've gotten a super cheap loan, with no rents as long as i'm studying, and i get about 50% of that loan deleted as soon as i pass all my exams. (which everyone can get).
That means that i can apply for the "higher paid jobs" earning more than my friend who's a mechanic, but because he didn't take higher education he get's more years of higher income than me. So it's pretty much equal, unless i get an over the average career, but we've both got jobs that we love (hopefully, after i graduate).
The video is instantly worthless when calling Norway socialist or communist...
You guys totally misunderstood what he was saying🤦🏼♂️ It's nowhere near communist or trickle down, but i guess that's how Americans are taught economics work.
3:05 a very versatile guy who once even shared his perineum with his tv audience...
I like how you think it makes perfect sense, but you’re sceptical because it sounds a bit like communism. :p
Equal increase or decrease by percentage does not equal to equal salary for workers in all fields.
If you earn 600 per hour as a lawyer but 300 as a carpenter, an increase of 3% would apply to both, it does not mean that lawyers, carpenters, bus drivers and so on all earn the same salary.
Harald Eia started as a comedian, but he have a really down to earth look at society, and some critical thinking about a lot of things, that makes sense.
10:55 I work at this plant on the little picture to the right. It shows a rolling mill (aluminium).
You guys missed out of 6 minuts that explains more of this
if a vid is over 10minutes, u have to pay them extra to watch the rest of it
Jonan, who pays people to watch this, they don’t care
@@LasVegar 20 USD for a 10min video and u pay em/donate to get em to watch the video u want.
It's really shit that people do this 10 min thing.
And Harald Eia IS a bit tedious. An academic turned comedian and TV entertainer. The English subtitles does convey the essence of what he is saying, but none of the humour. I tried watching it without sound, just reading the subtitles, and it seemed very dry - I'm not surprised that Ashty got sleepy!
13:31
No, it's not.
And there's still wage differences, it's just that the people earning the most only earn about 10x the lowest wages rather than many orders of magnitude more like in the US.
And the negotiations isn't about everyone getting the *same* wages, but the increase and decrease needs to be similar.
In Scandinavia where Im from and most of Europe , there is actually a workers marked if you could say that, if the employers doesnt provide the services,wages etc that everybody else do for their workers, they will change jobs.. The US is a brutal society in comparison, which the employers can cut the lifesupport AND the medical security in a heartbeat for their workers if they complain over work condition. I dont say that everything is perfect but compared to to The US we are in heaven.
I don't know why I'm watching these reaction videos when I know what Americans are gonna say about our country anyways :P I love Harald Eia tho.
Appreciate the reaction, but please realize that this is NOT trickle down economics, lol. This is trickle up economics!
Trickle down economics is a system where money is distributed to the top earners (often through tax cuts) in the belief that it will somehow trickle down to the bottom earners. This never happens because an employer have zero reason to hire more people or raise wages just because their revenue is increased. Corporations are not welfare institutions! The rational reasoning to hire more people is when the demand for products and services warrants it, while wages increase with labor competition and production efficiency. This can only be manipulated by increasing the overall purchasing power, which trickle up economics specifically addresses.
The salary is not the whole story. You must add free health services (in principle without limits) and free education up to PhD. So for low salary jobs in US, this will not be possible.
And PhD is a paid research job with a full salary, though not as good as private salaries.
Or just disregard the whole video as false, when you imply that Norway is socialist...
Just want to put this here.. Norway is not a communist country. We're a social democratic country. And equal pay is not the same a communism. It's just a fair system that makes sure that employers can't "abuse" their employees by paying them less, just because they feel like it. They can however pay you more if they feel like it, but not less. We're just not a capitalist society, that's all 😁
But you are using the internet. You like the adult toys the USA creates. Bet you have computers, cell phones etc.
That is accually wrong, what we are called is liberal capitalism, our system is considered to be on the left side of the capitalism spectrum. We have a open private business market. Also unions is what makes the workers earn more :)
@@joecole5643 What? How does that relate? You thing the US makes all the adult toys you use? Keep drinking that juice, my friend. Norway landed on #7 in the richest countries in the world in 2020. And #5 in happiest country. Only behind Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Switzerland. (You see a geographical thing here?) Please tell us how to govern, and how to make everything great. We will be over here with our great system, laughing at you, and not going bankrupt because someone broke a finger.
@@thanossnap4170 Rich through oil? That's not to impressive. I'm all for Norway and Europe going alone. That's why i am opposed to NATO. It forces the USA to pay for the defense of Europe. By the way, i've seen a number of reports on Norway deporting Muslims. Crime then goes down. Sounds like you guys have some sense.
@@joecole5643 The idea of the internet was made in usa however the World Wide Web is partly created by Scandinavians including a few norwegians.
Cell phones are not created in USA they are created in Korea China and a few other asian countries.
They have not been produced in USA for a very very long time.
Computers are the same they are not made in USA.
Apple from 2017-2020 knew about them using actual slave labour at labour camps in China and did nothing because it would be too expensive.
And they have used child labour in the past.
I can go on.
"That's why i am opposed to NATO. It forces the USA to pay for the defense of Europe"
In return USA would get defended if invaded it is also able to create the Nuclear shield because of NATO.
You know the thing that makes USA even able to defend from Nuclear missiles from Russia or China.
Small things like that. US troops are trained by Nato soldiers and equipment is sold to USA based on Nato things like Missiles ammunition recoilless rifles, artillery and more.
You might not like to pay money to nato but that is because you do not know how it works.
Also, Europe has never needed to be defended under nato so that is also a thing.
You also do know that the defence spending in USA is so large because you follow the 1600 British model of defence.
I live in Norway 😄
Not everyone's wages are the same, but everyone's wages changes at the same rate.
It is not communism, not fully capitalism, it is a mixed ecconomy.
Anyone know where I can see the next episodes?
it's basically capitalism made at a national level, instead of per company, without infringing too much on privatised buisnesses.
I would argue this is taking the best of both worlds. This is capitalism with respect for the individuals. Taking what is best from socialism, the equality, and combinding it with the free market economy. And no, this is not communism at all. The means of production is still 100% owned by the companies.
I live in southern Norway 😄
People does not have the same pay in Norway. I earn 3 times more than my brother.
Within my group of friends (about 20), the low income ones make about 450.000. My friends with highest pay about 2.000.000,-
Did they not say anything about the private companies in Norway? Ex There is a lot of them in the health sector. And of course the salary is higher too. 😊
The main point was not mentioned. It is a minimum wage and a minimum increase that are negotiated. Some factories give 3.2% - others 8% - depending on the private factories themselves. Some pay 220 NOK / hour others 250 NOK / hour. Many factories also pay more to those who have worked the longest, to those who produce the most or to those who have greater responsibility or perhaps good ideas for greater production. There are no restrictions up - just down
Sounds dangerous for not very successful business, is it not? And I heard that cars are very expensive there, is it true?
I don't think that this is the best from both systems, it's more like ~70% capitalism and 30% socialism with respectful amount of flows...
@@igortytarenko9136 Cars are very expensive yes we have 100% tax on a new car(except EVs they are very cheap with almost 0 taxes). Where i work part time (im mainly a student) i make 30$ an hour for a manual labour low skill job. In general we have low unimployment and a very robust system for taking care of people if they were to loose their jobs.
Tormund i get that it is good for people, but what about business, cause if businesses goes down economy will go down. I am afraid that country lives on it’s past success and if everything will be like now, it will eventually collapse. How wrong I am?
@@igortytarenko9136 Fortunately -Norway is a very rich country so they have created a light system of financial compensation under Covid 19. If the State has ordered you to close - as hairdressers - you have received money to cover all costs. The state is also paid salaries to everyone who is laid off -100% and 60% after a while. Companies that have had to reduce their operations will have all% costs covered until October. You will receive money in your company account only 2-3 days after application - but a check will follow. Demand money you should not have - report to the police and demand a refund
@@igortytarenko9136 There are only 5.4 million people living in Norway and we have the world's largest fund. $ 1.15 Trillions. There is a 9-year state budget, including social security budget. Many people are now applying to colleges and it is free in Norway
percentage of same wages... not same wages
What you think about use a mic? 😂
Hvem faen sender inn det her hahaha for noe tull
why would you stop the video right before the end point
Don't wanna be mean, and I never comment on someone's look. But can someone explain wtf people does that with the lips? Never heard a single person that liked it. Still pretty tho :)
No, it's not communism but a mixed economy. It's the unions who are dealing with this. Not so much the government. And it's not like everyone has the same income. This was a very simplified explanation. That's the point of this TV show.
BTW The whole point is the economic growth for everyone. And if it works, who cares what you call it?
It annoys me to no end that you stopped the video right before it got to the crux of the point.
hey pls do cricket reactions esp bouncers and swinging delieveries one !!!

He’s lost weight
Sean Kingwell i noticed too.
When someone lose weight everybody comment about it even to their face every time, but when you gain weight nobody dares say anything..wonder why people have to do that..why that is so big deal to you how someone look like?
@@japekki666 Trust me, I would tell you if you gained an amount of weight that meant it would impact my tax money and where they were to be spent.
Explanation, in Norway we all pay high taxes so that everyone gets everything for free if needed, solidarity, that also means my tax money would go to fat people's treatment for being fat, money that could've been spent in improving schools or whatnot.
Fat people are the worst, especially those that claim that "being fat is a positive body image" and claims "they have no illnesses from being obese".
Delusional cunts.
You pronunce his name like this: "EY" + "YEAH" :D
A bit disappointed you didn't watch until the conclusion...
tl;dw: Unions!
Sorry in advance for the way too damn long comment. It's mostly just an elaboration of the OP.
Wealth doesn't "trickle down" automatically as you said, that's a crucial point. It's not JUST capitalism, it's adjusted capitalism. Pure capitalism has, in my view, been successfully discredited by Marx. Adjusted capitalism, however, proved Marx completely wrong. Collective bargaining between employees and employers normalizes incomes between extreme low and extreme high earners (and also significantly alleviates class antagonism which stabilizes capitalism). That means the working class is financially secure enough to enjoy the liberty of vacationing to America for a month, and thus overall happiness of the population is increased. The rich aren't as rich as they could've been, but they're already rich, so limiting their wealth accumulation isn't going to make them outright unhappy. Money does not equal happiness, but you do need some amount of money to be happy.
It's all a bit dry like a lecture, so I really do understand that you turned off. There are a couple interesting points though that you missed at the end: "Norway beats America in capitalism (GDP increase rate)", "service culture is inefficient and thereby relies on - and perpetuates - poverty (more or less)", and "high labor wages are beneficial to the economy". It all comes down to collective bargaining, i.e. unions. A solid welfare state is nice and all, but UNIONS are at the center of the success of the nordic model. That is what the American economy needs. And I really wish you guys could get it done, because America is influential, both culturally and politically. America's demand for liberty, and its sense thereof, has been, and is still, a force of good in the world. Just... you could do without the kind of jobs for which you don't want to pay a living wage.
I think you missed something here...maybe you should have watched the whole thing. Norway is a capitalist economy, but it is balanced captialism sort of married to socialism. A very important point is that when you make all the cheaper goods, you need a market that can buy them. You loose your market if big parts of the population is struggling, because they can't buy the enormous mountains of goods that are being made. In worst case that would lead to worse and worse products hitting the market because it is what people can afford. The norwegian system have created some norms in society that says, nobody should ever have it worse than this level. So the system keeps the people on the lowest level on a decent level. So that they can take a trip to the USA once in a while. We think all people should be able to afford that. This create a very strong sense of community in a country, and the freedom for everybody to live in a society where you rarely see any naked poverty. Trust level are high because of virtually no desperation. These choises are about what world you want to live in. If you would like some deeper insights into this you should watch the whole series that Harald Eia made...you may after that want to join a union.
"Norway is a capitalist economy, but it is balanced captialism sort of married to socialism." That is what socialism actually means - or what ot opriginally meant until Marx came alogn and twisted its meaning. I posted a comment elsewhere here with more details and I suppose I shouldn't repeat myself.
@@tessjuel I don't know exactly what you hold Marx responsible for, but I would recommend not to listen to the twisting of his words that are so popular on the right. Marx mainly contributed now very widely used analysis of capitalism, and his theory proves useful and justified over and over again. Marx did not say very much about how an alternative society should work, and most attempts raising the communist flag never got any further than the initial stages, stages that was not postulated by Marx. The significant element is autoritarianism, which Marx would never have supported. Apart from anything from Marx, "socialism" is a quite diverse field of ideology, and this often splits the left into fractions. In my opinion a practical way forward should go through the restructuring of legal corporate entities in capitalism and transform companies into democratic entities. This move alone would be much closer to the economic ideas of Marx than any of the dictatorships that never gave the power back to the people before they crumbled, and sank down into a capitalism worse than ever.
@@bearofthunder Marx took the name of an already well established ideology and used for a different one.
I wasn't talking about whether capitalism or socialism or communism was right or wrong, they all have some good, some bad and some outdated points. It's the confusion he caused. Because of the communists reckless use of the word socialism, it now means very different things in different parts of the world. That has caused a lot of misunderstandings and a lot of of--the-mark YoutTube videos like this.
@@tessjuel Norway has never been, nor will it ever be socialist, much less communist
@@gullfeber The Norwegian Labour Party has been in government during 50 of the last 75 years. More important, they were in charge when all the major changes that made Norway what it is today happened.
As for communism, I don't know of any real communist countries. There are some dictatorships that call themselves communists but that's just epty words. I can't imagine communism could actually work in reality.
The different professions do not earn the same. But they possibly increase the salary equally. They increase in percentage. 3% of NOK 300,000, or 3% of NOK 500,000. Is it communism... no. There is cooperation between the employer and the workers' union.
You concluded BEFORE the points that make the difference. He was just getting info how unions work in Norway, and all you are left with is the general point of how produktivity works in general. Your latest comments are irritating, especially since you're americans. We beat you on metrics of equality and "the american dream". It's easier to become a billionaire in Norway, but it doesn't involvolve denying your employees a "livable wage". How come a lot of americans put in a full days work and still have to be supplemented by flood coupons if they work for the Waldon family at Walmart, and live in a car. It's really a way to subsidize the rich. Crony capitalism, where the game is rigged agianst any other operator.

This is the weirdest channel idea I have ever seen in my life. If I had known in advance that you were reacting to everything _except_ the whole point, I wouldn't have watched. Why don't you ask people to pay you to listen to jokes where the punch line has been removed? That would be boring and pointless too!
The Norwegian model is based on the American model of FDR. It has _very_ little to do with communism. :) The punchline you missed out on, is that Norway beat USA at capitalism. We do what the Americans tried to do, but failed at. _That_ is why Norway is rich.
"It all trickles down." Bullshit. Wealth flows up in capitalism, it doesn't trickle down.
First step in communism is the nationalization of all enterprise.
Enterprise in the Nordic is NOT nationalized and our corporate tax is significantly less than the average corporate tax in the US... which I guess push the US closer towards communism than the Nordic countries... Clearly the US is not communistic system.
The difference is that the business association and the labor unions in the Nordic have a tradition of agreeing on an overall balance resulting in humane conditions for the worker and internationally competitive conditions for our enterprises. The reason this works is that we understand that domestic power battels between the business association and the labor unions will result in one thing only and this is a loss of the Nordics competitiveness on the tangible trade balance against the rest of the world. In other words we work as a team which in turn secures stable and predictive conditions for both the enterprises and their employees. Another in part result of this corporation is in the case of that Denmark that our financial interest on mortgage bonds have been close to 0.25% and even 0 since the financial crisis in 2008. The stable and predictive Nordic model results in a very low default rate and for the most part the lender will not have problems paying the installments on the mortgage even in the event of long term unemployment or sickness. Stable and predictive conditions makes all the difference in the long term financial world ... this is basic knowledge even if it is not that sexy and that is why it will never work in the US where everything be childish wild, emotional and illogic.

You need to actually educate yourself what communism is. You are hilarious 😂
Just pure propaganda, he makes a nice circle where it ends up at the worker. reality is that it ends up at the business owner.
You are right. But in a less degree than other places on the earth.

Norway definetly isnt communism as government doesnt own the industries. It is great in Scandenavia though. Id choose Finland but Denmark is also great.
Im not sure if I agree with this guy though as oil and low populations are huge reasons they are so rich and happy.
yes and no. We still pay allot for gass. we definetly aren't perfect, but we do certain things quite well. People do earn different amounts but we should all have the same safety/rights etc. communism is great in theory but it doesn't work in real life.
If we used the oil to get better payed, it would mean high inflation
