Swede here, I have said it before, and I'll say it again:
The Social Democratic is the best ideology humanity has found.
It combines the safety nets of government run services with the powerful incentive of a free market.
Sure, not all sectors are included in the free market, essential services like public transport, power, water, sewage, hospitals, schools, and similar stuff that you need to live and participate in society should be run by the government, and not just by decree, but actually running them.
Anything more should be on a (regulated) free market.
Progressive tax brackets should be kept st a high level, with a public highscore list with a awards like fancy dinners, medals, and other symbols of status for paying a lot of tax, creating more incentives to pay tax.
That to me sounds like a good society
It's pretty good while it lasts, but lately I'm getting the impression that social democratic states are kind of weak against propaganda from other ideologies. Core issue being that even in social democratic states, the rich still accumulate wealth, which gives them undue influence over the population.
There isn't a human on this planet that isn't weak to propaganda.
That sounds like propaganda.
