OK. When I think of socialism- It is just one step closer to communism or communism in hiding.
If Sweden is your example of socialist country then I call it 'welfare state' not really a socialist country. The welfare state typically have high taxation and lot of state ownership. The government can do that because of free market economy and prosperity that it brings. They tax these high earning individuals and use that to provide services to all individuals. If you check Sweden then you will find that in last 20 years they have moving away from the higher tax rates. A lot of deregulation and privatization is taking place over there. I am not against social safety nets that these welfare states provide. But it is just a matter of findign the right balance. But they can not exist without a prospering capitalistic economy otherwise who is going to pay for the expenses...

in space/time, there is abundant space. in time/space, there is time in abundance. but neither is unlimited. there is still defined amount of space in space/time, and time still passes in time/space.
Once again. I can dream and imagine of anything even unlimited so why should it be not possible.
-Do you think if I project light into the space it will travel for a few billion years and then find the edges of the time/space and then drop off or start to come back to me?
Let me ask you this.
-If the time/space is limited then what is beyond that limitation? What is that beyond part of ? Wouldn't that be part of time/space as well?

- You see the unique patterns in snowflakes, right. Do you think that after a few billion years the creator would run out of patterns and start to recycle the old one? NO my friend! think again. Even mathematically you can keep going and going ad-infinitum...
I agree that our perception of it could be limiting but the time/space is not limited at all. Don't discount the mystery of it all and don't think of it like a big box with edges and limits...
