    As a Nordic person, let me say that nobody here thinks our system ever was “socialist”. Welfare state, yes, social democratic, yes, but no socialism. I don’t know who came up with the idea.

    Besides, even the social democratic welfare state has been stripped down by neoliberal reforms since the 90s and is a shadow of what it used to be. The rhetoric is always the same: we can’t afford this, we can’t afford that, we have to privatize, we have to make cuts to save our welfare state, there’s no alternative etc.
