Tourist paradise, four Nordic countries

In this capitalist country, the flowers of "* * *" are blooming everywhere, and there are beautiful scenery, blue sky and white clouds, clear Wan Li and breathtaking scenery everywhere. Socialist factors have grown up in capitalist society, and modern capitalism is developing in the direction of socialism, which proves that the socialist system is the direction of human historical development.

Western capitalist developed countries, driven by the new scientific and technological revolution, have made great progress in social productive forces on the original basis; The self-adjustment ability of capitalist relations of production is also constantly strengthening, the manifestations of economic crisis have changed, and the impact of the crisis has weakened; The people's material living standards have been greatly improved; The corresponding adjustment of superstructure makes the allocation and exercise of state power more institutionalized and legalized, and the form of bourgeois political rule is more perfect; The progress of science, education and culture is changing with each passing day, and the quality and civilization of citizens are constantly improving. All these show that capitalism still has considerable development potential in the present era.

The four Nordic countries refer to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland to the north of the Baltic Sea. Last summer, I visited the natural environment and beautiful scenery of the four countries during my vacation and spent eight days on lectures. I also personally understood the long human history and unique customs of the four countries.

It's better to travel to Wan Li Road than to study for ten years, and along the way, I have a brand-new understanding of the four Nordic countries in the distant western hemisphere. The following is a bit of understanding and superficial understanding of the four Nordic countries during this trip, hoping to attract jade, broaden our horizons and be full of yearning for a better life.

There are three sighs in the trip to Northern Europe: First, I lamented that the natural environment and climate are so good that ecological civilization has been achieved; The second is to lament that the country is so rich, the people's living standards are so high, and it has reached material civilization; The third is to lament that harmony is born, people-oriented and spiritual civilization is so high.

I didn't expect this. I thought that Northern Europe is close to the North Pole, and part of the land is in the Arctic Circle. The environment is desolate and the climate is bad, so the scenery must be bad. This trip found that the situation is just the opposite.

Northern Europe is an old capitalist country, and its area is basically small, but its coastline is very long. It has a maritime climate with mild winters and cool summers, making it the most suitable place for human habitation. The average temperature in winter is between MINUS 5 and 2 degrees. Only northern Norway occasionally reaches MINUS 3 degrees in winter.

The population of the four Nordic countries is generally small, and the consumption of human natural resources is within a reasonable range, so there is no need for large-scale development and construction, so the environmental protection is very good. The forest coverage rate is over 3%, including 7% in Finlanda.

after a few days' walk, there are forests and green spaces everywhere except the city roads and buildings. Because of the abundant water resources, various plants flourish. There is a high degree of harmony between man and nature. Pigeons, seagulls, wild ducks and squirrels can be seen everywhere, playing in the crowd, and many tourists leave their figures in their travel photos.

But not alone, I set up my own regional organization "Nordic Council". These countries have a per capita GDP of over US$ 5,, and are very rich countries in the world.

Although it is cold in winter, there are few pests and diseases, and there are abundant natural resources, such as high forest coverage, large fishing grounds with extremely high quality. There are also abundant oil and gas resources along the coast of Norway, which can be exported to earn foreign exchange.

I made a statistic. Together, these countries have an area of 1.21 million square kilometers and a total population of only 25 million, which is similar to that of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The four Nordic countries are all super-developed countries in the world, and their per capita GDP, per capita income and happiness index rank among the top ten in the world.

Northern Europe is the most active region for scientific and technological innovation in the world. Northern Europe is the region with the largest number of multinational companies per capita in the world, and Sweden is the country with the largest number of multinational companies in the world in terms of population proportion. Sweden has produced many internationally renowned brands, such as Volvo Cars, Ericsson Communications, Electrolux, Hasselblad Camera and IKEA. Finland and Sweden are far ahead in national innovation capacity.

The four Nordic countries are all four high countries: high income, high welfare, high taxes and high consumption.

high income: the per capita monthly income is more than 5, yuan. Sweden reached 6, and Denmark reached 8,.

high welfare: school and medical treatment are all free. Distribute various benefits regularly. Children receive basic living expenses from birth to the age of 18. Even some students studying abroad can be free. Sweden also has benefits for having children. In Sweden, the government bears all the expenses for a woman to have a baby, including the expenses of taking a taxi from home to the hospital. After giving birth to a baby, the parents' maternity leave is as long as 48 days. The salary for the first 39 days of maternity leave is paid by the national social security according to 8% of the previous salary, and then reduced to 75%. At the same time, parents can receive a maternity allowance of at least 18 kroner per day during maternity leave, and the time is also 48 days. Parents take time off to take care of their children when they are sick, and the state will also give parents a care allowance of 8% of their monthly salary. Before the newborn reaches the age of 16, it can receive about 125 kroner every month.

Children can be sent to kindergarten when they reach the age of 12 months, and the cost is around 1 yuan (including meals). From primary school to junior high school graduation, education is free, and meals and school buses are provided free of charge. Students who are more than 6 kilometers away from the school will be given additional transportation subsidies. In high school, each student can get a subsidy of 2, kronor (1,5 RMB), and in college, each student can get a subsidy of 4, kronor per month.

high taxes: adjusting the gap between the rich and the poor by taxes. The higher the income, the higher the tax, and the highest personal income tax paid by high-income earners is 7%. The income gap is not allowed to exceed 7 yuan per month. So the gap between rich and poor is very small. There are no poor people and no particularly rich people. High consumption: high income leads to high prices. A loaf of bread is above 1 yuan, and most hotel rooms cost more than 1, yuan a night.

The goal of * * * being rich has long been achieved here. The * * * capitalism described by Marx is very close to that of the Nordic countries. There is no difference between urban and rural areas, between workers and peasants, between mental work and manual work, and it has entered the primary stage of * * * capitalism, which proves that the socialist system is the inevitable direction of human historical development.

With high income and good welfare, Nordic people live a carefree life. Although the price is high, it is not high in terms of income. In addition, there are few places to spend money, and there are many places that don't need to spend money besides going to school to see a doctor. For example, Norway is rich in water and electricity resources, and drinking water and electricity basically costs nothing.

there are no poor people, and there are no extremely rich people. The house here is for living. Because the property tax is 7% higher, no one speculates on the house, and the house price is not high and stable. Most people prefer renting a house rather than buying one. They think renting a house is more cost-effective.

Nordic people don't have to work hard to make money, and they can live on the welfare benefits issued by the state. Many people can live well without going out to work. Many young people come out to volunteer for nothing, and many old people come out to do things for fun, not to make money. What Marx said, one of the characteristics of * * * productism, is that labor is not the first need for human survival, which is reflected here.

It's amazing and enviable that the living standard of the Nordic people is so high. In the words of tour guides, these countries are rich. For example, Norway exploited a lot of oil and gas in the 197s. The money earned can't be spent. Later, the state set up an oil and gas foundation and called on people to invest in the fund. Now people can live on dividends from the fund. Good mountains and good water are so lonely. At one time, Norwegians had nothing to do, but nothing to do all day. Some people got depression.

So the state has introduced many policies to enrich people's lives, such as taking long holidays to encourage travel, taking vacations and carrying out various activities, which has alleviated this phenomenon. Now that Norway has basically stopped exploiting oil and gas, it is enough to rely on fund income.

Nordic people are good at living. Many people don't want to live in the city, build villas in the country and spend their holidays here every week. Many families have RVs, and often the whole family drives around the mountains and waters.

Because of their high income and carefree life, and the pollution-free green food they eat and drink, the Nordic people live a long life, with an average life expectancy of 83 years. People in their 9 s can be seen everywhere on the street.

Walking in the street, you rarely see pharmacies and hospitals. According to the tour guide, Nordic people seldom take medicine and go to the hospital. They pay attention to health care and are in good health. Denmark is a big pharmaceutical country, and most of its medicines are exported. Most of China's insulin comes from Denmark.

Nordic people live a rich life, have no worries about food and clothing, and have a high number of happy jobs. Even the animals are very happy. For example, Denmark is a big pig exporting country, with one room for each pig, 12 square meters for boar and 8 square meters for others. Every day, the pigs take a shower, play music, and have a measuring instrument to monitor vital signs at any time. The feed they eat is organic, so the quality of pigs, cattle and mutton in Denmark is world-class.

Honesty, kindness and civilization are very high. I don't smoke indoors, I don't drink on public occasions, and I stop when people cross the road. Some small shops, small cargo beaches, unmanned sales, put a small basket to pay automatically. The goods are genuine, and there is no bargain when buying things. Nordic people are easy-going and friendly to foreign tourists. We take photos with them casually, and they enjoy it.

northern Europeans pay attention to enjoyment and have no worries. The pension policy is generous, and the retired is higher than the on-the-job salary. There are many pension institutions and a sound system. Many elderly people choose nursing homes for the elderly. Because they don't have to support their children, the children are raised by the state when they are born, and they don't have to worry about their own pension problems, which leads to low fertility and serious aging.

the state has introduced many incentive policies to encourage childbearing, and more children will receive more awards. After six months of pregnancy, pregnant women began to take paid leave, * * * for one and a half years, and then sent to the nursery. The kindergarten conditions were very good, and each teacher only took three or four children. In northern Europe, there are no generations to take care of children.

Nordic people have a strong sense of environmental protection. For example, Denmark is known as the kingdom of bicycles, with a population of 4.5 million, and the number of bicycles is as high as 6.5 million, with an average of 1.2 bicycles per person. Danes like riding bicycles, not because they can't afford cars, but for sports and environmental protection. Nordic countries are highly democratic and respect human rights. Cohabitation is not only illegal, but also encourages cohabitation to give subsidies, and middle school students can get married or live together. In this way, most people don't want to get married, the marriage rate is only 3%, and the divorce rate is 6%.

The prisons in Northern Europe are open. Lighter prisoners can go home every day, just like commuting to work, while heavier prisoners also have regular holidays to visit relatives. The crime rate in northern Europe is extremely low and there are few prisons.

Nordic countries are countries with a high degree of clean government. The culture of incorruptibility in these countries is too deep, and people's rejection and resistance to corruption is from the heart. Swedish citizens generally believe that honesty and trustworthiness are social norms and personal conduct that must be observed.

Corruption is considered a very shameful thing, and few people want to get rich by taking bribes.

Transparency International, an international NGO dedicated to fighting corruption, has released the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). The "clean" countries with the highest scores are basically Nordic countries.

Especially in Denmark, there has been no corruption and bribery for many years. Only one case happened. An international student from an oriental country didn't have enough credits when he was about to graduate. He gave his teacher two bottles of maotai wine and two Chinese cigarettes to let Danish students know and report it. The teacher was detained and resigned, and the student was sent back to China.

Vikings led by Norway plundered everywhere hundreds of years ago, and the value of the looted treasure played an important role in the primitive accumulation of capitalism. Not only did you enjoy the fruits of capitalist development, but did you have the destruction of two world wars. The whole people are religious, awe-inspiring, simple in folk customs, honest and trustworthy.

with the transfer of backward industries in developed countries, these countries can make use of their first-Mover advantages to upgrade their position in the international capitalist system. Exploitation is mainly reflected in the injustice and oppression in the international system.

under this system, the price of goods depends on the buyer's willingness. When a country can produce high-tech products that other countries do not have, but need, it can completely sell the goods to backward countries at exorbitant prices and make huge profits from them. Since backward countries cannot profit from advanced productive forces, they can only use the so-called "low-cost advantage" to obtain a little possibility of industrial upgrading.

With the development of science and technology, the value of workers is more and more reflected in irreplaceable mental labor ability, rather than machine and manual labor. Their brains cannot be easily transferred to third world countries like backward industries.

in developed countries, the working people, the government, and the capitalists each play an indispensable role. The working people have mastered the advanced productive forces through the good education system in developed countries, and used the advanced productive forces to help the bourgeoisie obtain huge benefits from backward countries; The government is afraid of public pressure and has to provide a good education for the working people so that they can master the advanced productive forces, and obtain huge profits from overseas by political means and international assistance, and use the taxes paid by the bourgeoisie to train high-tech workers to prevent the outflow of advanced productive forces and maximize the scientific and technological advantages of the country; The bourgeoisie is responsible for profiting from the third world by using the advanced productive forces provided by the working people.

The only similarity among the three is to obtain economic benefits from overseas. Once this virtuous circle is formed in a country, its position in the international capitalist system is very difficult to shake, and most people can naturally live a middle-class life.

China's total economic output has exceeded the sum of 27 European countries. As long as China maintains stability, gives full play to its advantages in political system, and is always aware of worries and risks, after the completion of the two-step strategy, our tomorrow will be even better!
