To defend the free market position though I don't agree with it, an evil party can be elected in those countries who could purposely mismanage the welfare state

To defend the free market position though I don't agree with it, an evil party can be elected in those countries who could purposely mismanage the welfare state and destroy it. Then they point to the ruins and say look this doesn't work adopt our new evil system. Canada and UK try to do this whenever an ultra conservative local or national gov is elected. They can purposely fuck it all up with a wave of the hand which is why relying on government is risky.
Nordic countries also have strict speech controls and censorship which is why a lot of artists leave those countries. Banning films and literature is common
- gnaffle 13y agoHuh? When was the last film or book banned in a Nordic country?
- dobbsbob 13y ago2011 a serbian film. They only reversed 300 film bans in 2003. It is illegal to 'insult' religion there so if you're a critical cartoonist or author expect to go to court and defend your art from censors. The last book censored was Flemming Rose’s book “The tyranny of silence" and in 2009 they censored a stand up comedian for what was silly satire.
- gnaffle 13y agoDid that cartoonist ever get to court? And how was "The tyranny of silence" censored?
