How does Swedish bureaucracy compare to other forms of this potent disease?
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Let me put it this way: Different cultures have different "flavours" of their bureaucracy - some societies have a paraniod flavour, others have a touch of chaotic inefficiency, still others might have a claustophobia (Kafka-taste) or a surrealism flavour.
Swedish bureaucracy is none of this. It's firmly founded on two ideas:
1.that a classless society should also be uniform on other non-related factors
2. that you can gain some sort of ontological safety from high structure
Eh - did that make any sense at all?
