All this is in contrast to the cherished Swedish delusions that it is the opposite.
As reality challenges the delusion, the delusion crumbles. This is the way of delusion, denial, and hubris. It's an old, old story.
Well said, even though I think Sweden is based on big government ideals rather than Socialism.
Capitalism today is flourishing in Sweden.
Sweden has always been a very centralized nation. For hundreds of years Sweden was one of the most militaristic, disciplined and also most bureaucratic among countries. If not the most.
We Swedes are well educated and innovative but I’m afraid we have developed a little too much of a mentality based on taking orders from Big Brother (read politicians and mainstream media) without reflection.
Regards and thank you for supporting Capitalism, Freedom and Civilization!
