      Almost, it’s imperialism. The Nordic model depends on the global system of imperialism to both have safety nets and huge profits for capitalists.

          i don’t think so, can you source that claim? those are just meaningless words diverting from the fact europeans bullied us into operating our services for their profit instead. also cheap extractivism from your colonies.

            While many European countries were heavily into colonizing, I don’t think the Nordic countries were that excessive into the practice. At least, not to have an empire to extract resources like Britain, France, Spain, etc did.

            It would appear I was wrong on this take.

              what?? european countries literally control energy distribution in many cities in my country, transportation, and heavy extractivism. that’s very much including nordic countries. they are still heavily into colonizing.
