But I was told that Sweden is a socialist utopian paradise where there is no right wing, all the cities, bridges, and sidewalks are clean, new, and shiny, you can walk or cycle everywhere 365 days a year, free healthcare and lollipops are offered on every street corner, and everyone is happy and productive all the time!

Did the internet lie to me???

    It's thoroughly capitalist, but most people pay hefty taxes so public funding is in a much better place than most countries.

    But no right wing is wild. There's quite a hefty following down south and historically Sweden was "neutral" in WW2 which included selling to the Nazis and transporting their troops around.
