The Swedes are led by Bernie Sanders styles socialists.... not exactly Marxists. Also socialist democracy works better in places like Sweden with a strong collective identity and long history of mostly honest public dealings. Where you have lots of government control ... and lots of corruption... things pretty much always go badly for honest, taxpaying citizens. US is not as corrupt as most places... but using political power to line your pockets those of your friends happens more here than in the democracies of northern Europe.
