Just to recheck, you’re saying that Scandinavian countries are authoritarian?
Yes of course I am. I am Scandinavian. Have you ever travelled across the Öresund Bridge in a bus? They stop 50+ passengers for upwards of 45 minutes, pull out all the black and arab people seeking work, as well those who look particularly poor, subject them to highly invasive searches and then send some back if they feel like they can get away with it. Or take entering Gothenburg’s harbor by ferry. The send a military ship out to escort your boat. They don’t really have to do this, but they do it to really show you who is the boss/who has authority. When you arrive, something similar to the bus example happens. Take the all the black people into special rooms, make people walk past drug sniffing dogs (that have incredibly high rates of false positives, but that doesn’t matter because it’s about creating anxiety), and metal detectors. it’s not just designed to scare minorities, it’s also meant to incite fear in regular people.
Also, search SÄPO, they are so lacking in transparency that even Swedish government media can’t deny their lack of oversight and unbridled power.
And, you realize that some capitalist countries with private property and capitalist markets, in practice approach anarchy?
I do. Anarchy of production is the chief reason why climate change can’t be battled by capitalism. I am not an anarchist, I don’t know why you are bringing this up.
