Socialism - The taxes in Sweden are high beyond belief! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Freedom_Day#Tax_Freedom_Day_around_the_world The average Swede pays 55% or more in taxes every year, and only a couple a years ago it was even more (and probably will be again after the incoming election September 19th)
Another problem I'd say is caused by socialism is the fact that we have adapted a kind of lifestyle where its a bad thing to be better then the people around you. For example, when I was a kid, I was really into maths, and as a result I was a couple of years ahead of my classmates (probably was around 9-10years at the time). This caused my teachers to stop me from doing maths for 2years, instead of helping me to continue develop! The same thing is happening to my younger brother right now, and I'd say its a trend you can see everywhere in our society!
Feminism - Holy shit are some girls here angry I do have to point out that we have really some intelligent, beautiful and independent gals here, its just a shame so many of them are so into feminism^^

Gypsies ruin our country, nothing much to say here.

Half of the French population semt outraged after somebody posted a video of policemen doing their jobs, aka evacuating illegal immigrants. That's the effect of the neo-socialist propaganda. French socialists now don't give a fuck about hardworking French people (whether they be ex immigrants or not) like it did before, right now all its attention is focused on the third world illegal immigrants who don't give a fuck about our country and abuse all sort of social aid plus welfare. The neo-socialist propaganda is working with the help of the French media who keep on hidding the name of the rapists and killers, and the weakness of our right-wing party which never managed to legalize ethnical statistics.

You think you have it bad with feminists? Take a look at Norway, cant even get laid by a hooker without getting 4000$ (dollars!) in fine. This law even makes it so you cant even fuck for a buck out of our country. So most men here are criminals. Oh and you have no idea how much police resource are being put into this law, while rapist and real criminals make it free and are rocking the streets. All because some fat politican of a wife is jealous of her husband nailing some whore. Norway, most retarded country ever
Holy shi! i feel sorry for norway you must come to sweden and get some easy gals :< hell just going to a party can get you laid without talking to them

Your taxes are lower than danish taxes and it's also possible to buy a car at a reasonable price in Sweden.
If swedes should bitch about something it should be your tight restrictions on Alcohol.

Politics: A total and complete mess involving existing power structures from past colonial masters and a ridiculous amount of corruption. Many congressmen and senators are agonizingly inept and just in it for the power and money they can milk from their position. Voters are not helping either. Case in point: One of our ex-presidents who was sentenced of plunder ended up second in the presidential race. Really, Filipinos? I'm not a fan of the guy who won the whole thing but that's another matter.
Herd Mentality and Lack of Critical Thinking: In terms of traffic, when one driver does illegal counterflowing or other magic tricks, expect that there will be bozos who will follow his lead right away without even considering that they're making the situation worse. In political crises, the most natural response is to look for somebody to blame, fire or force that person to resign, and then assume that the problem is fixed, without really investigating the underlying reasons why it happened in the first place. In the end, the same problem is there because you've only removed one person from the web/haven't taken the necessary steps to prevent it from happening again.
It is ridiculously easy to get a prostitute- two of my friends (one Filipino, one foreign) were recently propositioned separately in supposedly-high class malls: one in front of a Gap store, one in a Starbucks branch. Yes, I'd really like a prostitute along with my coffee and cake. In restaurants, you can often see foreigners with their 'hirelings' either out for the night or having a morning-after breakfast/lunch.
Edit: Reading the posts above me seems that some people might think that having the last point is not so bad.

Hygiene - people spit/litter everywhere, stray animals everywhere
Government - corruption. corruption everywhere; institutional racism (basicly non-malays are not entitled to anything. As a result, the malays get all lazy and grumpy); politics here is one bad joke
Racism - pretty bad lately
Media - pretty much every local programs is filled with guys being sissy, newpapers are so heavily regulated, beyonce/avril can't wear scandalously
education - everybody is forced to learn Bahasa Melayu. its such a shitty language : (
and power outages all the time: ( for realllll
+ Show Spoiler +a remix of the national anthem. it sounds pretty bad overall but its hilarious and it pretty much sums everything. lol aside from all these, everything else is pretty darn good though : D

Politics : I Swear its so stupid im ashamed just to look at them we all know they just lie 24/7 and corrupt the country and we lose our jobs and than they say " we are trying to bla bla " just stfu
Racism : It's probably worse in other countries but im ashamed when i see racists here and there they are so stupid i have seen lots of immigrant that own them in speech and than the racists peeps scream and want to fight. I have many immigrant friends that are good they are not the kind of immigrants that come from a third world country and run around in sweden saying fuck sweden. i do have a few third world country immigrant friends but they are mature and not as immature as the others.
Feminists - i swear i dont want to ellobrate or there is probably a girl ( OMG ) that will report me.
Unemployed - I Swear it was all thanks to the politics and now i won't vote since its just stupid nothing good will ever come of voting so why bother.
Jesus christ. People like you make me pretty ashamed of Sweden.
The price of the Alcohol is a GOOD thing. The state should always try and keep people from consuming poison.
The racists in this country however, I can agree on. I myself am a part of Antifa. The biggest problem with Swedish racism however isnt the big Neo-nazis who we have to fight all the time but the underlying "Smygrasism". Cant really find a good word for it in English but it´s basicly not yelling "I hate blacks" but more of a "I´m not a racist but why cant they just live in Somalia like the rest of them?".
And swedish feminists are the best femenists. Wth is wrong with femenism?!
Unemployment has NOTHING to do with our country, it´s all about the crisis.

We know that education is the only resource we have and watch our education system deteriorating doing nothing. Schoolkids don't vote - pensioners do.
Realistic estimates say 10% of our population have life-affecting alcohol problems. We choose to ignore this fact.
To me personally it feels like 99% of our people have never been happy in their life ever.

Not to be rude or anything, but all your points are stupid.
We dont live in a Socialism, not even near it. How can you even say that? A freaking Capitalist Mumintroll is ruling the country at the moment!
And what is Wrong with the taxes?! That you pay a high amount of taxes is so that you dont have to Pay A LOT MORE when you for instance go to the hospital! And by A LOT I mean A LOT A LOT!
Once again, as long as things arent completely equal we have every right in the world to be pissed off. That you take up "Beautiful" as one of the things that make a girl less "annoying" that just proves my points even more! I dont understand how anyone (Except for Possible Sverige Demokraterna, a pretty sick party in Sweden) can have anything against femenism!?

In America, we are turning into a third world country because of social programs for lazy and illegal peoples. Also, we voted in Obama, who has never held a real job in his life, to fix our economy. Look how that one turned out... "we are turning into a third world country" -> a slippery slope argument that doesn't even make sense since America is, by every definition of the concept of 3 worlds, part of the first world. "who has never held a real job in his life" to fix our economy. This is faulty on two counts: 1.) A straw man, assuming that one has to be X to do things that are good for X. I have to have a vagina to push for laws that foster equal treatment of women. 2.) Furthermore the definition of "real job" is highly suspect. Being a professor is a real job, is it not? Being a senator is also a real job? Or by real job, does the poster mean a job in the private sector? 3.) "Look how that one turned out." Is basically equivalent to the ubiquitous loaded question "How did that turn out?" such is a rhetorical question that does not actually draw any conclusions, but is full of implicatons regarding gloom/doom scenarios. Instead of telling me to look how that turned out, it would be far more constructive to tell me, in fact, how those policies turned out. What is the actual state of our economy? Anyway, I am ashamed we have people in our country that are so fond of over-polarizing politics and logical fallacies.
Let me elaborate. He is a professional politican, and his economic policies are ruining America. Better? Our debt load is unsustainable, so yes eventually, we will be a third world country at this rate. It doesn't take a philosopher to see the truth.

Was gonna say racism wasn't so bad here, just ignorance or insensitivity but then I saw this post:

Government and people can be a little too boring and unadventurous sometimes. Not very inspiring aspirations.
Cost of living is a little expensive and I feel some of the better qualities that give the nation some character are being replaced by more generic and mainstream qualities.Things like trying to be too politically correct, too much 'part of the crowd' mentality, etc.
Other than that not much to complain about really, and would feel kind of guilty if I did.

How could I say anything else? Only by swedish standars would mumintrollet be called a capitalist! As I said, our taxes are still at 55%, which is a ridiculous amount!
What I mean when talking about the girls in Sweden is this - They are amazing, its just a shame so many of them are extreme feminists. I'm all for equal rights and treatment between the genders, I just wish the same could be said about all feminists! Sverigedemokraterna don't really talk about feminism - their main question when it comes to the hole gender-issue is the rapes, of course making it sound as if its a problem caused only by immigrants.
In my eyes, taxes=theft, but I'm guessing thats something you wouldn't agree with... Saying that I get more money back from paying my taxes is just plain wrong, and in my eyes doesn't even relate to what I consider beeing the real problem - the fact that I've got no choice about paying them, even though I don't agree with most of what its used for.
Edit: Crap, missed the quotefunction

Most western countries today are mixes between Capitalism and Socialism, if you don't know that Sweden happens to be far to the Socialist side of the spectrum you need to go outside your house and look around. Not saying that Socialism is bad at all, just saying that Sweden is a Socialist country.
Paying high taxes is good for the overall welfare of the country, but for the rich who can afford to pay for healthcare etc,etc by themselves, paying high taxes blows.
If you don't see the flaws with feminism and the crazy feminists out there you either haven't encountered the bad side of feminisms at all or you need to stop being naive for a second and open your eyes to the harsh reality.
Personally, I would say the worst thing about Sweden is the naive attitude towards immigration and segregation many people seem to have.
Oh, and still like 20% of people believe in a god, needs to be 0%.

Corrupt politics (no surprise), faked unemployment rate when it is about twice as high, apathetic people.

Fatass dumb rednecks electing politicians over and over who consistently prove they are in the pocket of large oil corporations, pharmaceutical companies, etc. People that actually think Sarah Palin has anything intelligent to say at all. Religious fanatics that hamper scientific progress because of a false set of morals and ethics hammered into them since they were children by their parents who had the same thing done to them. Thank you America.
ps - I still love you.
