Socialism in Sweden almost bankrupted the country in the 1980's. This is why they abandoned it in the 1990's. Thinking Sweden is a socialist country today is naïve.

First of all the US is in trouble on such levels the last thing we are in a position to do is brag over Sweden. But of course they’re not a purely socialist economy & no one is arguing that we should be here either.
