The Nordic countries are socialist countries, and the 5 of us are among the 5 best functioning countries in the world - in all aspects. It's when we turn against socialism and turn more conservative and to the right that the rich get more rich and the poor struggle to pay for housing and food. It's socialism that makes me feel SAFE. That I am protected by the state if I lose my job or need health care etc. It's socialism that makes sure that even the most poor people can attend university for free and get a good education. It's not socialism's fault if corrupt politicians take advantage and commit crimes to take control over a country and demolish the democracy.</blockquote>
