Wow, one of the few times I get to be proud of lil ol’ Belgium.
I often joke with family that we live in the best country in the world by default. Not because it’s a paradise by any stretch of the imagination but because the rest of the world went to shit faster than we did.
So far…
I suppose it’s the same everywhere… but each time Sweden gets amnesia and votes in the right wing we get raped:
M: “Hey let’s give away XXX to the private sector and let them rape the country. It will generate prosperity for everyone!”
Swedish voter: “What a great idea, why haven’t we done this sooner?!”
Sweden has worse wealth inequality than the US.
I‘m really surprised. I always thought that wealth in the Nordish countries are quite equally distributed. Don’t you have a very flat income difference? How it comes?
Income is not wealth. You can’t become wealthy on any income. That’s the thing.
But clueless people online always tell me that Sweden is a socialist country. You’re not telling me those people were full of shit, are you??
Democratic socialism is just less openly repugnant capitalism.
You can clearly see how great communism works in Russia.
