Exposes BS about Sweden. Not socialist, walked away from socialism, they have school choice, no minimum wage, etc...

Sweden was able to RECOVER from their short experiment with Socialism, because at the time, the country was still populated by SWEDES and pretty much Swedes only. When a country, be it Sweden or Japan, only has ONE CULTURE, they have much more capability to SET RULES for that culture, in other words, you work (assuming not legitimately disabled), or YOU ARE SHIITE. That takes care of the problem.
They should have STOPPED right there...but instead imported MILLIONS of foreigners, from cultures nothing like Northern Europe...and then paid the price. Seems that those ‘cultures’ value scamming the system far more than trying to participate in it.
...and so here we are, watching the last days of the West (greatly accelerated by the Neocons). What comes next will be ugly, whatever it ends up being.
I have no crystal ball. All I note is that socialism failed in Sweden, and capitalism succeeded big time. What people do with that is not up to us. But the commies cannot point to Sweden as a paradigm of socialism, because that’s a lie.
Once again it’s proved that liberals (socialists) know too many things that ain’t so. I’m amazed that Sweden’s socialists realized their error & turned things around.
I quite enjoyed this. Weirdly Mr. Norberg is nearly a dead ringer for my younger brother.
The Swedish wrap-around welfare state economy totally crashed in the early 90’s. Little was reported here, because even then, the media could see no evil in collectivism. And despite a severe case of refugee Stockholm syndrome, they haven’t gone back.
