    Yep. To my understanding, in the Nordic model, capitalism continues to devour all socialist tendencies.

      The entire world is electing right wing populists right now, little to do with the Nordic model.

        The Nordic model’s approach is relevant in imo, because this article is about Sweden, and because this path proved not be safe from capitalism taking over. This does not contradict what you said, that the entire world is electing right wing populists right now. It is a reminder that this is a mechanism that capitalism traditionaly uses to resolve its crises.

          I mean, as long as you give people choice, there will be those who disagree with you.

          You want to prevent right-wing populists from taking over, kill them all. But then are you better than them?

      yup. the nordic model is only sustainable if you ignore who suffers under it: the people where the oil is extracted, the indigenous Sami people, and people of the Romani diaspora.
