They'd rank much higher in my book if economic leftists didn't use it as a the perfect example of a socialist utopia.  (granted nowhere near as much as they use to)  I'm glad it's worked so (seemingly) well there, good for the Swedes.  That doesn't mean it would work everywhere though or that it will work for them over the long haul (or if they had to provide their own defense from '45-'91).

I do like Sweden and Swedes though.

That's not what I've been hearing from socialist fundies for the past 20...25 years.  Again, granted, I don't hear it anywhere near as much as I use to and socialist fundies tend to think they are a lot smarter than they actually are so I should take what they say with a grain of salt.
