You don't have to think in a Adam Smith/Karl Marx dichotomy all the time.

That was my point. CptSternn is picking out an individual influence, Marx, who is further removed from Sweden's economic and political structure than others that influenced it, such as Keynes, and claiming that Sweden's system is based around him. I was mirroring Sternn's claim by choosing Adam Smith because there is only a tenuous link, Sweden is obviously not a free market in the same way as it is not Marxist. I wasn't saying that Sweden is directly styled after the Wealth of Nations, quite the opposite.
