    I think it might be the other way around. It's not like you can just leave though. You really need to speak the language, to live there with any reasonable ease.

    Socialism does not exist. Capitalism does not exist either. Any county uses some socialistic programs and some capitalistic ones. These countries the right hates so badly, are just different in their mix of socialism and Capitalism. We have socialism to save the wealthy and we have Social Security for old people.

    No you're right, it's a social democracy. The Swedes have finally woke and are very fed up with being taxed so much and the huge levels of immigration. How can any country take in 500,000 migrants from some of the poorest countries in the world and not be adversely affected? That's around 5% of the population, imagine if over 1.5 million people mostly Muslims suddenly arrived in somewhere the size of Ohio in just five years. Migrants are almost all in Southern Sweden in four cities, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala and Malmö, I know some Swedes and they hate the liberals and what the naive bastards have done!!

    Havana Moom, please put away the Fake Alt Right Media blurbs.

    Sweden, like the US, is a capitalist economy working with a social democracy of the People.

    So youve never been to Sweden, but think you can bullshit your way out of admitting it.

    Assume? That's real objective evidence there. LMAO. As always......ad hominem Bullshit from the left. Next. In fact European immigration (legal) to the US is up 9% since 2016 ….I wonder why 38,144 Swedes migrated to the US in 2016.....or 33,715 Danish citizens migrated to the US, or 79,902 from Norway? Clearly they love the socialism of Europe.


    Just like left wing science you are real precise with your language. ASSUME.....IN GENERAL......
