Why are you measuring amount of money instead of amount of life quality and satisfaction?  :omg:

What do you think determines life quality and satisfaction?
My ability to consume, ya dunce!
Also because those are unquantafiable, and it's even easier to smudge the numbers.

Also GDP isn't technically a measurement of the amount of "money" a country has.
So for example, a country might overexert itself and produce 70trillion dollars worth of goods and services.
But because they used all their resources, the next year they only produce 10 trillion, and they all starve.
Thus what's more important is merely sustaining a small amount of growth, typically 2-4%, and minimizing the inevitable troughs.
It's merely the monetary value of all that it produces.
And the great thing about living in a capitalist country, is that you have a choice!
You don't HAVE to take part in consumerism if you don't want to!
If you want to, you could just save your money, live on the bare essentials, and donate the rest to Africa or something.

Meanwhile in Sweden, none of this happen.

An isolated event isn't a rule. If it doesn't work it doesn't mean it will never work, maybe you just need to fine tune it. :ok2:

It's true though.

I had a choice to have more money in my pockets. But I chose not to, because it would mean I wouldn't be able to spend as much time NEETing

And I'd rather starve than do the stupid, humiliating crap they make you do to get that extra money

Never mind that "None of that was happening" in Venezuela 2 years ago.

Sweden just hasn't burned through all its money yet.

It's true though.

You're gonna starve anyway, dude. It'll just take longer.

Venezuela went full fucking retard with their economy
Invested everything into their large oil supply. Something like 70% of their GDP is based around oil exportation.
As soon as their reserves start running low they're fucked, if demand ever falls they're fucked.
Happened back in the 80s, happened in the GFC
They're a poor nation that can't afford their populist social spending
They have also failed to invest in alternative production to oil because all the money goes to social spending
This means they have high as fuck inflation. The government is constantly giving money to people who have nothing to buy due to the constant shortages

If any country can afford to be socialist, it's actually the rich countries.
