‘The Rape capital of the world, nuff said.’ – And primarily by young male Islamic “refugees” who view the “liberated” Swedish women as an affront to their manhood and, therefore, fair game.

From the mouth of an actual Swede:

Sweden: Lessons for America?

“We did have a period in the 1970s and 1980s when we had something that resembled socialism: a big government that taxed and spent heavily.” “Our economy was in crisis, inflation reached 10 percent, and for a brief period interest rates soared to 500 percent. At that point the Swedish population just said, ‘Enough, we can’t do this,’
–Sweden cut public spending, privatized the national rail network, abolished certain government monopolies, eliminated inheritance taxes, sold state-owned businesses, and switched to a school voucher system.
–Sweden’s tax system may surprise Americans. “This is the dirty little secret….We don’t take from the rich and give to the poor. We squeeze the poor because they are loyal taxpayers, and because rich people might leave.”Even people who earn below average income pay up to 60 percent in taxes.
“You can’t turn your backs [on] the creation of wealth,” warns Norberg.
“Pensions in Sweden are based on economic growth, if things are going well pensions are increasing, if things are going less well, pensions are automatically lowered. This takes away from politicians the ability to buy votes by promising higher pensions.”

Consider this: One estimation of how well a country is doing economically is looking st the number of ski tourists. I have seen Finish skiers at the Banff resorts but not Swedish or Norwegian. Lots of German, English, Chinese, Japanese, Ausies and Kiwis, and Americans. The head of the South Korean ski instructors hold a CSIA level 4 (Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance).

The Swedish are as absent as Pakistanis, Iranian Iraqi etc.

Sweden experimented with true socialism but it was such a failure that virtually all business/industry was again privatized. It is a welfare state but not a socialist one in the least. It is in fact another example of the failure of socialism.
They were so impressed with free markets that Sweden now uses a free market voucher based school system, simply because it works much better than a solely public based system! This is something the liberals here would never allow or acknowledge.

1) What is unmentioned, Bob, is the fact that if you are totally dependent on the state, you are totally controlled by it. “The Golden Rule is, he who has the gold makes the rules” At some point, you exist for the state, not the state existing for you.
2) “From the 1950s through the 1970s, that translated into some of the developed world’s highest suicide rates and had a noticeable impact on Sweden’s artists.” – which is why I hate the depressing ouvre of Ingemar Bergman
