As for my question on Scandinavian countries you did not address the fact that the majority of these countries seem to go against you feelings on how socialists operate.

Critical theory is not my strong suit, but it is definitely a re-invention of socialist theory based on anti-globalization. It has lost of its authoritarian edge, but is still centered in group identity politics, which easily leads to violence.
For earlier versions, well I don't really have to give examples, do I? Marx? Dictatorship of the Proletariat? Class Struggle? Violence is implicit. What about Lenin and Trotsky? Mao? To deny the impact of these men on modern socialist thought is ignorant.
I like Luxembourg, but is she a socialist in general terms? Probably not, more of a liberal than anything.
Ask an average Scandinavian what they think about immigrants. You'll be shocked.
