Sweden The 'Goodest' Country

I once asked a Swede why all their doors opened outwards instead of inwards like most peoples front doors and the answer was that not only did it avoid dragging snow indoors but it was a safety feature as you don't get trapped by the door when running out of the house in case of a fire.
It is thinking like that which means Sweden finds itself top of the clumsily titled 'Goodest Country in the World Index' which ranks 163 countries depending upon its positive lifestyle contributions, including prosperity, equality, health and wellbeing and contributions to the greater good of humanity.
Second is Denmark, then Netherlands and the UK sits the 4th goodest country and then Germany, Finland, Canada, France, Austria and New Zealand making up the top 10.
Australia is 17th, Japan 19th and the USA 21st but Libya is the least 'goodest' nation which contributes least to the common good of humanity just above Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Central African Republic and Iraq.

Scandinavian countries are also very socialist and socialists are just very nice by nature, its a lefty thing.

Americans really do struggle with the communist or socialist thing don't they.

You quoted from it though but your confusion over the two is legendry, but then it has always been that socialism and communism seems to mean the same thing to Americans.
