#2Wow, this is awesome.
While the world's biggest "democracy" (India) censors the web, Swedish government sponsors means of dissidence.

FYI, Tor was originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Lab, and the US has always been a pretty bad player in this regard (though more so now than in the past).

#4Sweden is a really amazing country! In addition to being a well functioning democracy it also has these features:
* A flourishing market economy that has created everything from IKEA and H&M to Spotify and Skype.
* Free health-care
* Free college education
* Low corruption
* A well functioning justice system (practically no patent trolls!)
It certainly has it's problems but compared to other countries it is truly amazing how it has managed to balance social well-fare and capitalism.
Disclosure: I am Swedish.

It also has the FRA law

which lets it legally do what it wants to prevent other governments from doing. Because they are, you know, not the Swedish government.

I agree that the FRA-law is incredibly bad but overall I still think Sweden is a lot better at protecting civil liberties than most other nations.

Not sure if IKEA functions in favor of flourishing market economy or against it.

In what way is IKEA not an example of a successful company?

Sweden is outstanding if you ignore all the equally great countries in Europe and elsewhere. Sweden also used to be the standard-bearer for the Nordic model, this is not true anymore. There's plenty of reasons to avoid Sweden, but here are the top ones:
* Everything is expensive.
* Taxes are high.
* Housing (more or less) can't be rented, buying is expensive.
* Weather is cold and/or dark most of the year.
* Culture life is relatively mediocre.
* Foreigners generally perceive Swedes as guarded.
* Racism is on the rise.

He's not saying it's not a successful company (it certainly is). What he said is that IKEA, being a traditional-business-disruptive company (with its too much competitive pricing), is probably not much in favor of flourishing market economy.
