Congratulations, you have discovered the inherent contradiction of the "free" liberal ideology

Nah, for them, taxes would just be another small hurdle to squash

What violence? Is open discussion of anti-capitalist ideas violent to you?

It's classic false equivalence from "freedom lovin" liberals, lol

Free speech for everyone! ^(as long as you keep quiet about anything that questions capitalism / the status quo)^

Yay reform! Aren't we just sooo progressive? Conservatives hate us so that means we're totally leftist!

The problem with free speech is probs that what people are really fighting over is who gets to control and define what "free" speech is. Only in an anarchist society would free speech really be as you described - say what you want, but be prepared to face the consequences of your words (and actions). Without the protection of government and socio/economic hierarchies, bigots wouldn't feel quite as invincible while they spew hate and oppression.

Small nitpick, but stupid / evil suggests it's some static state of being, when it's a choice. Selfish is a good descriptor though, as is ignorant, greedy, bigoted, hateful, fascist...

The nordic model is not socialist, it's a mix of social democracy and corporatism
