Is Sweden Socialist?

[FreedomPhilosophy]

I know, Sweden isn't socialist, not unless you stretch the definition a little bit too far!

The term "socialist state" is often used meaning "welfare state", not necesarily "central planed economy".Usually when people argue against high taxes and wealth distribution by the state, others go "but look at Sweden! It's doing great, therefore your argument is wrong!". Now the conversation continues like this: "But Sweden has a low regulated, highly innovative economy, it is export oriented and has a lot of natural resources. In short it can afford it, but your poor ass country can't."
