What lessons can Americans learn from Sweden's Democratic Socialism

So how accurate is this "Documentary" on Sweden's Democratic Socialism? If it is accurate does this mean Sanders and AOC don't know their arses from that hole in the front of their faces?

This is obviously a political topic, so PLEASE don't post this here. There is a separate forum for Politics and Religion.

MODERATOR - PLEASE move this.

Has there ever been any doubt about them being idiots. Bernie is one of the biggest pieces of crap in DC, The fact that he has worked the system since he was a kid, never had a real job for any length in the private sector and is completely clueless about what it takes to make a business successful, and all the dumbasses that think he is so great, yet he became a millionaire off their backs. He is nothing but a POS conman who, like biden, only accomplishment is building his personal wealth while attacking those who actually have accomplished something, taken the risk, built business and actually committed to society, but he thinks they should be punished while he wants to reward other irresponsible lazy losers like himself.

That guy put together a nice short funny video.

Sweden has an amazing history, and a lot of experimentation in government systems.

What lessons can Americans learn from PPOT rules?
Post your political subject matter in PARF. It’s not a difficult concept.

I am truly curious. I don't know about their (Sweden's) system. All I know about Sweden is Ikea and Volvo, I was under the impression like many Sweden had a Socialist system. The people interviewed state they tried socialism in the late 70'-80's and it failed miserably so they restructured back to a free market capitalist system.

So is what the people state in the video reasonably accurate? If so does that mean Sanders and AOC are clueless?

No I am not trying to "help this right winger get more views" I have no idea who the guy is. Don't ask me how YouTube algorithm works? I was watching vides on hydrophobic coatings and You Tube said hey let's throw this in there. Yep caught my eye, I watched and now I am curious.

I swear, trying to get some people to post in PARF is harder than toilet training a toddler. Some days you just end up with crap all over the place.

Most days it works.

It’s funny...the same Karen’s seem to watch for someone to slip up and post in the wrong forum. Then it’s a contest to see who can look down upon the poster with superior disdain first.

Now I understand why they just can’t skip past a thread of little/no interest. In fact, such threads are of their very highest interest.

Mike, the concept shouldn't be too hard to grasp.
Off Topic is like the living room of Pelican.
PARF is the bathroom..
Maybe you have different standards but I don't like finding crap in the living room.
Without moderators to scrub the place out, those of us who like to make the differentiation do indeed express our disappointment in some members lack of toilet training.

And oldE makes my point ^^^.

The bathroom analogy is quite telling. Confirming that politics and religion topics are most certainly below the esteemed and superior sensibilities of some. Nice.

Anyone who truly wants to act as a magnanimous steward of forum integrity would simply and privately send the OP a PM and ask them to request that their thread be moved. I’m sure many do that. Others eagerly ride in on high horses for all to see.

What I found most interesting is a structure that focuses taxes on wage earners and consumers.
As this is where the people without a growth oriented mindset will stay.
It leaves those with a growth oriented mindset options for less taxes and greater income.
It also means the next evil super-villian will possibly be Swedish.

Here in the US a very convoluted system tries to do the same thing for those politically connected to get their tax burden lifted.
