Do they just give free hugs in the street? Where I come from, you have to pay a hooker in order to get hugs.
Not only that but because they can go to the doctor anytime they feel ill, there's a minimal chance you'll catch a communicable disease from said hugs.
But seriously, how dare they not embrace selfish greed like Fox says we all should?!
Dammit, and familiar vistas too, now I want to visit Sweden again.
Come join me for a nice relaxing colonic.
♪Do you like piña colonics, and getting caught in the rain ♫

Time to LEARN THE F*CKING DIFFERENCE between USSR and Sweden:
classic USSR:
*Medium-Poor
*one-party Dictatorship
*No free speech
*State planning of entire economy - little or no entrepreneurship
Sweden:
*Affluent
*Democratic
*Freer speech and freer press than the USA according to Reporters Without Borders (Sweden ranked 7th while USA ranked 36th)
*Progressive income tax provides socialist services whilst the economy is still market-based and entrepreneurs are free to start new companies.
*No stupid laws written by religious-conservative-fundamentalists.
*Half the infant mortality and 3 years longer life expectancy than the USA.
*Less than half the murder rate of the USA [reference: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur-crime-murders 219/9M vs 16.2k/303M]
*Had the 2nd highest average math education scores in the world (USA was ranked 19th out of 21 industrialized countries). [Reference: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs98/98049.pdf]
*Fewer wasteful farm subsidies than the USA
