I'm not saying we're not a country rooted in free enterprise and capitalism, but it's definitely not part of our national narrative. As kool maudit said, Sweden can go hard right and still be Sweden. I likewise believe that Canada can go socialist and still be Canada. I don't think the US could and still be the US.
