This is not comunisim or socialism its a mix of low socialism with regulated capitalism it is what most countries should be this was 3 min of genius and for people who say this is communisim or socialism strictly your really retarded since communism hates private ownership and free market trade this is just a mini past america little to no govt with controlled socialism and regulated capitalism

I really hope the Swedish trend continues. In a few years give or take, they'll be the new America (the old America that is). I'd move there in a heartbeat right out of college, fresh for work.

One thing people should also come to grips with is Sweden (and Europe for that matter)'s ageing populations.

I dare you to guess why they have that problem.

JUST GUESS.

@ToxinalX

I'm also an swedish libertarian and converted from the traditional swedish socialistic point of view after everything I have seen and studied. I also hope for Ron Paul.

[ToxinalX]

@andrefantastisk I will tell you this from the perspective of being a swedish libertarian; Compared to what the U.S is develloping into, we're the communist utopia Karl Marx envisioned.

Please vote for the right candidate this time ! - Ron Paul 2012

[ToxinalX]

Sweden was bad enough as a socialist country before Fredrik Reinfeldt (a bilderberger) came along and brought it to new lows.

hehehe, buing sex in sweden..now, he is a whore in the USA....who know^^

[Johanofsweden]

Yeah! Svin-Otto! Tell me, how are the prostitutes in California?

FYI all americans. This guy was handpicked by our new worthless primeinister (sorry for my spelling problems). Then he got kicked because he bought sex from girls. Nasty story.. Do NOT trust anything that he says.

Best regards. A swede :)

@jrgenkratz

Exactly. The Swedish taxes is between 60% to 70% for a normal working and consuming person, and US, even if also very high, is far from this level.

[Myndir]

@RandolphLevin Do you think that Karl Marx would call Sweden a socialist country?

[RandolphLevin]

So what he's saying here is that Sweden is a better place to live than the US, because of its adaptive, choice-focused socialism? Surely you can do better than that.

[jrgenkratz]

This is bullshit. Sven-Otto Littorin is a big government socialist. The "tax reductions" have all been laughable and close to non-existent, when they haven't simply been replaced with "fees" instead. You pay higher taxes in California than in Stockholm? Get real. Like all politicians, he can't count. What is called the income tax is just a small fraction of all the taxes you pay on income.
