Much of the end-result of the socialism I find repungnant. I also dislike much of the heavy government regulation.
But for marketing control targeted at children, yes. Kind of like in the US, I’m not a fan of extensive regulation, but do like the cleaner water and air we have now compared to the 70s and 80s.
Similarly, I think they have a better view of the balance for work and life, but maybe overly so. Due to worker protections, accountability is hard to enforce. It’s both good and bad.
One thing I like is the Swedish model for traffic fines and other minor offenses. They’re defined as a percentage of your reported last year income. So, Joe Rich, decides to speed through a school zone, get’s a nasty $85,000 ticket while Bill Janitor would a $50 ticket. Kind of prevents the flaunting of the basic laws we’ve have with the wealthy in the US.
While progressive fines don’t bother me, their extensive tax rates do.
So no and yes. There’s a balance between protecting what needs protection and over-dictating life trying to right everything through government control.
