Where property will be confiscated if the said usage fees called taxes are not paid to the actual owner, there exists no private property or more correctly, everything is state property.
Unless you believe taxes are fees for services provided, I don't see how you can say that taxes are not an exercise of state ownership .. in which case they would be administered as a bill, not a levy measured in % of anything.. which never happens!

I agree that it is silly for conservatives to ignore the fact that tax money is given to private companies (schools) and not call it socialist. But it is a good idea, since it is not likely that we can get Uncle Sam out of the education business. At least we can give some choice back to the citizens.

@Anthoric I think that view is highly naïve...

No matter what word you try to slap on Sweeden and other similar countries, be it France or Denmark or whatever, it allboils down to this:
They are responsible and do not have a "Let's fuck everyone elseout of all they have." mentality.
The freedom to choose schools have fucked up the school system, not made it better. In my opinon education, health care and care for the elderly should not be driven by profit making companies!

@Loudfrom93 Well, I don't know why you tell me. I can't stop you from having stupid opinions. Only you can. All I can do is show you the facts, and explain how it works. If you after this still have idiotic opinions it's nobody's fault but your own.

Now we got 20% more youth unemployment, media taken over by industrialists and neoliberal think tanks, venture capitalists taking over schools and old age homes, 2 wars, massive economic inequality, secret election funds, big brother reading all mails, a Karl Rove puppet as prime minister, massive sellout of all publicly owned companies to china and the cia running our military.
And you are just another paid propaganist...

@lethalidiotz "Now"!? It's been like that for 20 years or more. Most of the things you mention are things implemented by the social democrats. S recently decided to agree to give the secret police access to all the email surveillance as well.
You may not be lethal, but...

@regebro It was the socialdemocrats who introduced neoliberalism in sweden and at that moment the socialdemocracy in the socialdemocratic party died. And yes that was about 20 years ago.

@lethalidiotz You are completely ignorant about political history. Socialism died in the social party the second they got power. And that's good, as common ownership is an idea that doesn't work. Socialism has failed and died. Welcome to the 21st century.
