Sweden's current structure is heavily influenced by socialism.

When I say that, I meant the governments that went to the extremes with it. Like Communist states, I wasn't referring to the Nordic countries, which I'm sure aren't fully socialist states, so sorry for any confusion!

It's 2:23 here in NC. In my city celebrations have begun, but the people on our coast aren't celebrating. They're dealing with a goddamn hurricane -_-

If criticizing the US for what it did during the Cold War, one must equally criticize the USSR if he/she wants to be logically consistent.
