Seems reasonable.
That was a long way around saying that they realized socialism doesn’t work and are slowly getting rid of their foolish ideas.
How did the state come to own Absolut in the first place?
Excellent article.
Very good explanation of how Sweden is not socialist.
In a narrow economic sense, yes. But, looking at their self-destructive immigration policies, one might say they have just substituted one bad set of ideas for another, and even more dangerous set.
They remain uncured of allowing foreign monsters into their country.
An enormous problem, in itself. Related to the whole secular humanist non-sense.
Sweden has imported a huge free sh*t army that will vote for socialism in the very near future.
Yes, but as of today, it is illegal to speak ill of x-gendered folks. Don’t know what the punishment is but....... Guess the first amendment doesn’t apply to them. Not sure I want to see what makes up the Swedish bikini team anymore either. Can I say that?

Sweden was the one place where semi Socialism sorta worked. It worked to the extent that it did because they had a homogeneous population with a strong moral/work ethic. Then they put radicle feminists in charge and the murdering savages arrived.
I had an interesting conversation with a person who went to work in sweden for a couple of years. She said she was questioned extensively about her relationship and when she was planning on becoming pregnant. Most of her interview was spent on it, in fact.
I am not clear in the details, but there is a long absence granted.
It’s interesting how i can’t ask if someone is pregnant here.
Technically, communism is when the government owns the means of production AND distribution.
Socialism is private production and government distribution.
And with anything else, it’s a matter of degree, i.e., how much of the economic production and distribution does the government “run”.
E.g., progressive tax rates, instead of one tax rate for all, is a socialist distribution scheme.
“Sweden’s free market is not burdened by the U.S.’s excessive regulations, special-interest subsidies and crony bailouts.”
Truth.
Our economic freedom is weaker and weaker, as the government manipulated the economy, regulates more, and takes money from earners to subsidize businesses - picking favored political cronies.
Per capita GDP fell. Sweden’s growth fell behind other countries. Inflation increased.
...
More evidence that economic growth doesn’t cause inflation.
In fact, it’s the opposite.
I hope Trump kicks the Federal Reserve’s ass.
“...misgendering a transgender pupil...”
I never thought I would read that.

The government claims it is no longer stupid and socialist.
Now they are just stupid.
