Sweden Abandons Democratic Socialism in Surprise Capitalist Makeover

What was said

"For decades Sweden was shorthand for a brand of high-tax, high-spend government that managed people's lives from cradle to grave through state-run hospitals, schools, and care homes. But no longer. With little fanfare, the Nordic country of 11 million has embraced capitalism. Today nearly half of primary healthcare clinics in Sweden are privately owned. Many of them are owned by private equity. 1 in 3 public high schools is privately run, up from 20% in 2011."

A Wall Street Journal article reveals Sweden has quietly dismantled much of its socialist infrastructure, with nearly half of healthcare clinics now privately owned and a third of schools privately run. Bongino contrasts this with Bernie Sanders' repeated promotion of Sweden as a democratic socialist model, arguing the media deliberately conceals how socialist countries are moving toward capitalism.
