    the Nordic Model, something that is possible there because of their tiny homogenous populations and high natural resources to support the taxation need for the welfare programs

    how does this work exactly?

      sounds like american exceptionalism to me. that big "diverse" country is too big and diverse for a very basic light-socdem welfare apparatus to function. i'm not going to shit on poster above since i'm sure they aren't the kind of person i'm thinking of, but this kind of reasoning is something I've heard often from americans, libs and conservatives alike. sweden is homogenous and that's why it can do certain things, also it's not homogenous at all because there are too many non-white non-protestants. shit gets tiring. there are a thousand things to criticize sweden for, and i'm tired of american made up reasons.
