"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

erj_pilot, although I was aware of the Left's mis-characterization of Sweden (and Denmark) as examples of Socialist utopias, the video interviews did an excellent job of dispelling the notion that current day Sweden is a socialist country, but instead, a capitalist free market country in which its citizens are taxed at a high rate in order to provide mediocre health care and education...to say nothing of their wide-spread adoption of nuclear energy to provide affordable clean energy for their businesses and citizens. Well worth the time to watch this video!

Dennis Prager, after posting a video dispelling the myth that Denmark is a Socialist country, was actually contacted by the U.S. ambassador to Denmark because she used his video to educate others on Denmark's government which mirrors Sweden's in many ways, in fostering a free market capitalistic model in generating wealth, and then taxing their citizens at a high rate in order to provide a high level of mediocre benefits.

I can't find the interview with the ambassador however this is the Prager U video with a Danish economist that dispels the myth that Denmark is a Socialist country. (not a You Tube video so I can't embed it)

Is Denmark Socialist?

What's sad is there's not ONE leftist, Demotard, Socialist, Bernie supporter on the face of this planet that will watch these videos and EDUCATE THEMSELVES.

I'll take anyone educating himself on the fact that there are no socialist economies anywhere in Europe anymore, regardless of political affiliation.
