    I live in Sweden. Sweden is not a socialist country. It’s a hard regulated capitalist country with social safety net paid for by taxes.

    I don’t understand why people keep saying that the nordic countries are socialist countries just because of the tax funded welfare. The taxes comes from hard working people, be it owners of businesses or employees.

      I literally said capitalist with a strong safety net.

        You are right, I misread. My point is still valid, though. Many refer to the nordic countries as socialist but they are not.
