Am I wrong in recalling Sweden as a country with socialism, capitalism, nobility, and democracy?


Don't they also have the highest suicide rate in the world?

Seriously though, I think the nobility in Sweden is "in name only." I don't think they have any real power. As far as having socialism and capitalism, yes it seems they have elements of both. But you can't be completely socialistic without eliminating capitalism and vice-versa. We have socialistic elements here in the US, but I don't think anyone would consider us a socialist country.

Indeed, ours is a total right wing Christian capitalist nation. Unfortunately, money and power are placed well above in importance to human beings.

There is nothing right wing about democracy. It is a leftist import from France. The apparent greed of our current leaders does not equal right-wing.
