    Ethnic exclusion, racism, a wealth of natural resources, a small population, and no real geopolitical tensions to worry about (prior to joining NATO, at least). Hm.

    I’m sure this is a robust and scalable model.

      Yeah I was about to say. Like Scandinavia has a high standard of living, but it’s still capitalist/corporatist as fuck, still has a lot of the problems of right-wing and even far-right ideologies, and is 100% not ideal and probably not sustainable in the modern world (especially considering their welfare capitalism ended up getting people elected into office who are trying to dismantle the social protections and laws that make the countries successful in the first place). Welfare capitalism isn’t a good middle ground because it’s extremely likely to drift back towards regular old capitalism.

        Don’t come here to lemmy.world with your reasonable takes on socialism. Don’t you know socialism is bad?

          Sir this is lemmy, anything less than foaming at the mouth advocating for seizing the means of production is considered right wing.
