Having just spent 8 months in Sweden, I can assure you that their Socialism is purely 'children's creche' socialism, and not 'free bread' socialism. There are some goods that have positive externalities and high fixed costs - the government should subsidise these. Education, defence, roads.

Venezuela has subsidised the latter, often at the expense of the former.
