I also think that because of the racial and social homogeneity as well as your "duped" premise, Scandinavians are able to use shame as a powerful force of compliance. I have several Swedish colleagues, and I have also spent some time in that country, and my perception is that there is a social stigma to not pulling your weight. There is (was? - my experience in Sweden was before the widespread immigration that now seems common) a shame (rather than pride) in being on the dole, just like there was here up until about 20 years ago. It is disappointing that we (and likely Sweden) has lost this capacity to shame socially. Peer pressure is an underestimated force, and up until 10-ish years ago, the Swedes seem to have used it effectively. Unchecked immigration combined with leftist attitudes is a bitch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-87690609533739989702016-07-04T07:47:50.969-07:002016-07-04T07:47:50.969-07:00There is an excellent Stefan Moleneux podcast abou...There is an excellent Stefan Moleneux podcast about "Scandinavian Socialism" - which basically highlights that the work ethics of the ethnically homogeneous Scandinavians is being eroded by their large welfare states, which is something that leftists need to understand before arguing that we all need to be more like the Scandinavian countries:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0hnA341AWE<br /><br />Another more statistical review outlines how the Scandinavian countries aren't as wealthy as often portrayed:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNtyV0CXfzU<br /><br />The bottom line is that Scandinavian countries are not socialist. They have large welfare states but they have relatively free economies as ranked by the Economic freedom index, and as you say have much lower corporate tax rates than the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-15174814258105734892016-07-04T06:27:30.000-07:002016-07-04T06:27:30.000-07:00That is what I have always thought.

What are the causes of the slow, incremental loss of societal testosterone? I mean, back in the early 70s, is it likely that the human responses which gave rise to the term "Stockholm Syndrome" could have occurred in any other city but its namesake? And when you think of it, doesn't the entire country seem to operate as if it was infected with a chronic-tending-to-terminal version of this affliction? <br /><br />And I can't help but wonder that perhaps Canada is only a generation or two behind. In our last federal election sixty-two percent of the votes cast were for three socialist parties that made no secret of their support for the immediate and massive admittance of refugees with only cursory checks and balances, and the diminution of speech and property rights and the confiscation of wealth via public debt of generations present and yet to come.
