    I have been a fan of Lundgren.
    As I see it, the real problem in Sweden is not so much the economic socialism, but rather the social policies, especially all the asylum seekers they are bringing in. All the immigration from impoverished countries not only threatens the future of swedish culture, but is also causing crime and social problems, and threatens to overburden the social welfare and pension system in the near term.

    This is so true. Many of the ambitious business people leave Sweden (and Denmark) because the taxes are so high. There is much less incentive to start a business when one knows that if it does actually become profitable the government will take most of the money. I am not just saying this for ideological reasons (I am actually economically left-leaning) ; I have actually seen it and talked to several Swedes, and one Dane, that left to the USA.

    “Listen if you wanna be somebody, you gotta go to America because here, this country sucks.”

    A country with a class system that apes the Limeys? Perhaps things have changed? Perhaps the US has left behind the individualism that is easily documented in European countries?
