but socialism has worked absolutely wonderfully for some of the Scandinavian countries.

They have been able to get away with a lot of welfare for three reasons.

1) Homogenous population. They do better at helping out others because they are part of their "family." They will accept higher taxes and a lower standard of living. Don't be fooled by the SOL put out by their Social Scientists. It's not as high as they claim. A lot of their housing is sub-standard by our standards.

2) Extremely good work ethic.

3) A lot of oil money coming in.

But times have changed, and they are in for a lot of trouble now. That is why you see a resurgence of the right there. The Muslim problem in Sweden is horrific, and being denied by the elites. And getting worse in Denmark.
