Much of this money is tied up in diversified wealth funds, which some would object to as not counting as real state ownership. I disagree with the claim that wealth funds are not really state ownership, but the observation that Nordic countries feature high levels of state ownership does not turn upon this quibble.
"When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim especially when it challenges a perceived status quo. This is also stated in Hitchens's razor.". [4]
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
- It is indeed a monarchy.
- PRO concedes the debate. A hereditary monarchy definitionally rejects the first principle of all liberal democracies: that all people are equal. Norway cannot rationally claim that all people are equal but also some very special royal people are born to rule and life a life of luxury at taxpayer expense.
- PRO defines figurehead.
- If PRO is trying to argue that the King of Norway is only a figurehead, PRO must state that in the text of this debate.
- The dailyscandanavian.com ranks Norway over US in several respects.
- Irrelevant to topic
- Democracy, a theory of governing in which citizens have the authority to choose their government and legislatiion
- Socialism, an economic theory in which citizens have the authority to control the means of production, and
- Wealth (CON can't say why PRO folds wealth into progressivism).
- hereditary privilege
- state religion, and
- the god given right of kings to rule

The line from pro "Much of this money is tied up in diversified wealth funds, which some would object to as not counting as real state ownership." Is visible on a half dozen other websites, and is not attributed to be a quotation, nor is it a line of rhetoric. "

From Early Modern English bump (“a shock, blow from a collision", also "to make a heavy, hollow sound, boom”), probably of North Germanic origin. Compare Danish bump (“a thump”), Danish bumpe (“to thump”), Old Danish bumpe (“to strike with a clenched fist”). Apparently related to Middle English bumben, bummen (“to make a hollow noise”), Dutch bommen (“to hum, buzz”), German bummen (“to hum, buzz”), Icelandic bumba (“drum”), probably of imitative origin. More at bum, bumble. Compare also bomb.
Progressivism is the support for or advocacy of social reform.[1] As a philosophy, it is based on the idea of progress, which asserts that advancements in science, technology, economic development and social organization are vital to the improvement of the human condition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism
