EDIT: Because I was downvoted:
> "1. Scandinavia isn’t really all that socialist"
Socialism does not have the same meaning in Europe and in the US and apparently, this was forgotten. They are liberal socialist countries, if you prefer.
> "2. Scandinavia isn’t actually as prosperous as liberals like to claim"
Raw GDP is unrelated how people actually live, I don't get this point.
> 3. Scandinavians have lower gross and disposable incomes
There is no mention of purchasing power, you can't buy the same things with the same salary in Dollars, it's comparing apples and oranges.
> 4. But money isn’t everything! What about the poor?
There is no mention anywhere in this part of the poverty rate of the different countries, just a graph of the poverty in the US (which does not argue for his point).
> 5. Norway is backed by big oil
Yes, and what about the other ones ?
> 6. Scandinavians aren’t as happy as Americans
Suicide rates are much much more than just economics themselves, and I don't understand why this is there.
