@Pappy Except, in the REAL world, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are MONARCHIES with strongly regulated capitalism. Which Americans used to have, until Republicans wormed their way into power and ate the government from the inside. What gets your pants tingling about those countries is, they're WHITE people, so you think their flavour of "socialism" is cool. When someone points you to Nicaragua's socialist govt, it's not so cool, is it?
If I had created the meme myself I might have chosen a different country as an example. In any case, I wouldn't have used one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. It just wouldn't hit right.
You're misapprehending what is funny about the meme. It's not about Norway. It is about how Americans understand and view socialism.
