the “Scandinavian model” as you call it, is something you really should research a little more. Particularly where the money comes from to fund social programs. If you do, and you’re the typical woke cult Statist numbnutz, you’ll cry yourself to sleep on your soy pillow when you realize it’s largely funded through nationalized oil.

More than that, woke cult Statist numbnutz argue taxation isn’t theft when the theft gives them things they want. Which they propagandistically call “social programs”. All that means is, “i’m fine with a government stealing from you at gunpoint as long as i get something out of it.”
