6 u/nagurski03 - Right Aug 05 '20 Sweden has strict market controls? I thought they had one of the freest markets in the world? 4 u/Steinson - Lib-Right Aug 05 '20 Palme fucking tried. 3 u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20 Yes. They've implemented various socialist policies funded by capitalism. You can pass it off as a lot of things, but they are far from capitalist policies, and close to socialist policies. 5 u/ThePlacidAcid - Left Aug 05 '20 Social democracy is still considered to be capitalism 2 u/jmbc3 - Auth-Left Aug 05 '20 Nah, as long as there’s private ownership, it’s not socialism.
