Norwegian here. I thought the foundation for our welfare state was laid over many years by unions fighting for their rights. And the workers party and socialist party working together on top of that for decades. The communists (AKP ML) were never a big movement.

Even if that were true, it's better than what y'all are suffering with now lol. What the fuck is wrong with welfare? Can't people be looked after by the government you're all paying for while you work on a better solution? Shit doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Letting perfect get in the way of the good lookin ass

Uh yeah, and compare every Nordic country with every country in the former Soviet bloc... in just about every single measurable metric, the Nordics excels.
