When Democrats post here on the Baptist Board (and elsewhere) about socialistic utopias that the USA should copy and emulate, they are usually Nordic blue-eyed blonde paradises such as Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Although some like Che or Fidel/Raul, most donut-licking, America-hating Americans long to be in the Scandinavian countries.
Norway, of course, sent thousands here to avoid starvation in the 19th century. So did the Swedes--so many that there are now more Swedes in the US and Canada than there are in Sweden. And then there are the Finns, the neighbors to the Russians who are constantly in danger of invasion from Russia, who always seeks to grab Finnish territory. Or the gravitate towards tiny Denmark.

"The happiest of countries -- many of which are in Scandinavia according to the most recent World Happiness Report -- have a robust combination of higher life expectancy, gross domestic product per capita, social support, generosity, freedom to make life choices and lower perceptions of corruption. By analyzing happiness data, officials hope to improve the world's social, economic and environmental well-being." -

Yes, it probably is an attempt to throw cold-water on the leftist notion that socialism actually works when you have all white people in a little country--especially if the little country has already sent thousands to the USA due to starvation. At any rate, the notion is that the type of socialism that we want is that modelled by white people.
