Now Even Swedes Are Questioning the Welfare State

Funny thing is, why are all these 'liberal' countries so much better places to live than the opposite?

USA is a quite a horror if you are sick or even just have have kids unless you have money.

World's successful "conservative" countries..

Yemen.. is still a country I have heard... what else?
Retarded false equivalence. Comparing US GOP consevatives to Muslim countries is one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard.

Beyond retarded.

Yemen's constitution declares that Islam is the state religion. Non-Muslims are barred from holding elected office. Yemen's legal system is a mixture of Islamic legal principles, old Egyptian laws, and Napoleonic codes. Islamic legal principles are applied in all courts—not just in Sharia courts.
 
I can see why you can't. You can't break away from bigoted stereotypes...people that you apply labels to.

But I'm not talking about people (as small minds are wont to do). I'm talking about principles (as larger minds are wont to do).

To avoid the confusion of conflating terms we must first isolate each term used in your term salads, and compare it to its opposite.

What is the opposite of social? Anti-social!

What is the opposite of save? Spend!

What is the antonym of conserve? Spend!

What are the two ways to spend? We can spend conservatively, or liberally.

What is the antonym of capital? Debt!

Capitalism: operating from a position of savings. (Strong position)

Debt: operating in/on a deficit. (Weak position).

The difference between capitalism and debt, to a trader, is the difference between operating on leverage (debt), or no leverage. Which is riskier?

I have not talked about people!

We need to get on the same page about terms first, before we can even wonder what principles people subscribe to, or why.

The reason you can't find a good country that is not socialistic is because there are no countries (what I call 'nations') that are not socialistic. It's the status quo! ( I keep saying that).

We do see anti-social behavior between nations from time to time. It's called "war".

And there is civil war to the extent that there is anti-social behavior within a nation.

A nation is social to the extent it's internal civil wars (politics) are not obvious, meaning, not shooting (hot) wars.

Regardless of how much bickering, how more or less social is the in-fighting, every nation has a pot of money that comes from the individual entities within the nation, which is meant to be shared somehow.

This is what political-national socialism is all about!

It's about how to collect and spend that pot of money.

There appear to be unfair/unwise ways to collect, as well as unfair/unwise ways to spend.

That's the whole story of national social politics in a nutshell.

Like I said, you can't name a place on planet earth that operates on this list of ingredients.

Us conservatives are bigoted but they hide that by calling others bigoted. Everyone is a bit here and there, it is just human nature to stereotype a little. What is fascinating is how the cons want to be long to the label but want to be seen as different from this.

If you want to not be labeled, just say I am not left or right, I am me.

US conservatism is a fraud, it is a pink unicorn that cannot live in reality. What there is of is holds on to center left for life support.

Look, just name a country that is approximating the ideal of what you think the US conservative base should be. Not a trick question.

For the Dems, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland etc. etc. Basically the top 10 whatever countries in the world have a lot the US can aspire for a Democrat except they are all capitalist-socialist?

Give me anywhere that does what you think the US should be emulating that is not a developing nation. Somewhere "it", the US conservative ideal actually works.

The answer is unequivocally none.
