## Summary

Stephen A. Smith criticised democratic socialists in a Fox News appearance, arguing that capitalism and the “American dream” remain central to the United States. He said the country should not be compared with Denmark, and accused some left-wing politicians of condemning an economic system from which they have benefited.

The article centres on Smith’s televised remarks rather than a policy announcement or new evidence. His comments form part of a wider US political debate over capitalism, socialism, inequality and the role of government in the economy.
