Re: Sweden - "socialist nightmare"??

Even to this day Europe still encompasses a wide enough area (including disconnected portions like Sweden and Norway) in land mass and ethnicities that broad generalizations often do not portray an accurate picture of the many variables involved in the collective culture. I would not expect Wiki to note the distinctions influencing these many variables on this kind of topic. Be this as it may, just going by popularly known recent history, there are some reasons why native Western European lifestyles are found to be notably different than how things are manifesting in the US by way of a good number of subsequent generations of previous Europeans who now call US their home. Latter day Europe as it had once been known was conquered, leveled and, subsequently, reshaped into the living image of advanced Socialism. Some people might remember that era - conquering / leveling, as WWI & WWII. That's what it was about. That's what it's purpose was. That was over 60 years ago. It makes perfect sense that the new Europe that has grown up in that wake is now exhibiting a much more smoothly operating version of Socialism than what is currently manifesting in the US. For the time being, this might still qualify as "theory" but it is my opinion that the US is not that far from going the same way as greater Europe of the early to mid 1900s. Our day of being leveled and reshaped closer to the heart's desire of globalist is still coming, by gradual creep, it is coming. Perhaps it would be better to check back here in another decade or two. Maybe then would be a better time to compare notes on how the Euro version of socialism compares to the Amero version. This sort of leads back full circle to an expression made in the opening post of this thread.

whine all you want about 'socialism' but the fact of the matter in many respects it works very, very well. much bettr that the system in the US, whatver you might call that system.

Note the advice to call this US system "whatever you might". What might I call the US system in it's present form? immature Socialism.... pubescent Socialism .... not-yet-ready-for-prime-time Socialism... but we are gaining ground every bloody day, whether we want to or not. By comparison, the Euro version is mature....prime-time .... fully-fledged, and all grown up... that's what I might call it.

As a parting thought, another variable among the many to be considered as to how and why the Amero versions is currently manifesting in the ways that it is .... "more consumption".... "bigger houses"......"less modest"...."less use of public transportation"... is because one of the main drivers of the American culture for, conservatively, the past 200 years, has been the likes of the Bank of England and the entire cast of shady, European characters making up it's A-list of blue-blooded board directors, principle shareholders and other big whigs ..... "primary investors in the grand American experiment".

PS - another parting note using England "Britain" as a specific example of an appreciable portion of greater Europe that is not populated by traditional Western Europeans nearly as much as it was as recent as a decade ago... this too is no doubt accounting for the differences in lifestyles, be they natural, pseudo-natural, imported (Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, India, etc), state-mandated, whatever, between there and here.
