We instead are worried about "Socialism" which really doesn't exist in the US!
Basically that is the reason that Hitler got to the point he did and why most of europe was destroyed in WWII. Even now europe is reliant on US militray strength. That may not be poossible much longer and do not think europeans who have been reliant on US since WWII ;do not think about it. Also even with the low military defense spending europe is now facing massive cuts in most countires. Even in such thiongs as heallthcare they are facing a different future with the US having paid for 70% of medical reserch and drug reserch in the world;and likely not to in the future of socialist medicne.

America must be American, only an American model is possible.
What IS the 'American model' ?

The compulsion to play world police at great expense and little benefit to the country?

The ability to spend hundreds of millions on cruise missile attacks of dubious purpose while things needing attention in our own country go begging for lack of $$$?

I think that model needs some major tweaking!

I think this is worth watching regarding the practicality of embracing Swedish economic models in the USA:

I like the first model.

Amazing the lack of color in that video.

HMMMMMm I wonder if getting free military security from the U.S. for the last 100+ years helps their economy?

I think in the next 50 years there will be a backlash by White people/countries of letting these people into our lands because it affects crime, poverty, neighborhoods, quality of life, etc. While the rest of the world becomes less diverse White people are expected to let anyone and everyone into their countries.
There are already measure in place today to deal with absorbing these new immigrants. I guess if you are actually interested you could read about it .

About your whole disgruntled attitude about importing 3rd world immigrants into a predominantly white society....well perhaps if you want you could read about some of the positive movements to result from this. Are you capable of good news?

Malmo university is a pioneering institute that makes full use of it's highly international student body. I've included the link below. I'm sure they have an English page. But most immigrants can deal with Swedish language.

Yea, you would fit in because "secular and liberal" means that they mind their own business.

But on second thought, you might not fit in because if you're not "secular and liberal," you probably DON'T mind your own business.

So nevermind.

lol why do people always bring up the race card when Scandinavia gets talked about? What's the point? Are you trying to say they're only successful because of the racial makeup? That's silly.

Norway does very well for itself because of its vast oil reserves.
