There's nothing funny here. There is no joke. Go read up on the ideology before voicing an opinion on it.

I don't remember Sweden having their means of production owned solely by the workers (or the community, your choice of phrase). Last time I checked, Ikea was around, so you got monopolies, you are living in a capitalist country.

oh please ''community'' is just a better looking word for ''state/government'', the state owns almost everything, school/education, money, almost everything is practically free because people who work more and earn more are taxed more to pay for people who work less.

Now that's a funny joke. Guess we'll just piss off all the libertarian socialists then. But anyway, Your last part about taxes being taken from people who work more just to pay for people that work less, that's called a welfare state. It's used to keep people in unemployment to use them later, or as a capitalist would call it "creating jobs".

Wait hold on, isn't Sweden a constitutional monarchy like Britain? With Carl Gustaf existing and what-not.
