The “Swedish model” works only if all the participants are Swedish models. When the other demographics begin to get mixed in there, then the scheme begins to break down, as all Swedes are not of the tall, Nordic female of exquisite beauty persuasion. There are the swarthy stocky people, the immigrants without a common culture with the rest of the Swedes, and the grumpy old guys who have seen life at its best and worst, but nobody listens to them.
Imagine how this could be applied here in the USA, with its diverse ethnic backgrounds, and less of a commitment to God, country and the family every day. Socialism would have less chance of working here in this country than it did in the Soviet Union, where they finally had to fold up their theories and tents, and surrender to the reality of the Universe, which is NOT compatible with the command economy model.
Command economies, though they appear to be “efficient”, finally have to resort to force to compel its individual members to conform to the needs of the commune, at the expense of their own personal wants and/or needs. If the individuals have the means to resist, or like Gandhi, the will to simply not participate, in sufficient number, the imposed system fails rapidly. Even if somehow, the system can be made to work by making the participation less onerous and a little more rewarding to the individual, like recognizing merit and endowing them with some authority to make at least some of their own decisions, still the sloth that is endemic in the greater numbers will eventually stall out the system.
Having too little order in the world is thought to be a negative factor, while having too much is regarded as just a total death cult. There is probably a fine balance between too much and too little, but so far, mankind has not been inclined to maintain that equilibrium. Of all the various ways to construct tribal law, perhaps the American Experiment came closest for a couple of hundred years, but now, whatever gyroscopes had been set spinning to stabilize the situation have burst loose of their moorings, and threaten to now tear apart the whole structure.
The balkanization of America is only one of several futures for the territory once known as “the United States of America”.
In a democracy, numbers dictate the future.
About 25% of the American electorate is Black, Hispanic, or Asian.
Their numbers are growing - through immigration, birth rate, and voter participation.
As a group, they consistently vote 75% for the Democrat Party.
About 40% of whites consistently vote for the Democrat Party.
That means the Democrat Party starts each election with about 49% of the vote.
Add in a relentlessly biased MSM and uninspiring center-left Republican candidates, and there is almost no possibility of reversing our money printing and debt suicide policies.
