You're absolutely right — Sweden today operates well within the EU/NATO neoliberal framework. It has undergone substantial privatization since the 1990s, especially in:
* Healthcare and elder care, now increasingly run by for-profit companies
* Education, with widespread use of vouchers and private operators
* Housing, which saw major deregulation leading to shortages and soaring rents

So no, modern Sweden should not be included on a list of countries currently operating with high levels of state-owned enterprises, nationalized sectors, or central planning for public benefit.

My earlier inclusion was referencing Sweden in the 1970s–80s, when it had one of the strongest public sector models in the West. But by your criteria — which emphasize current structural operations, not historical legacy — it absolutely doesn’t belong on the list.

Thank you for catching that.

Let me know if you want a revised top 10 without Sweden, or if you want a breakdown of how Sweden was dismantled over time as a case study in Western rollback of public ownership.
