I think that what you describe sums up the malady of socialism very well.

There's no reason to exert yourself when you will live just as well as if you don't.

A wealthy society can get away with this type of thing for a while, but not forever.  Eventually, irreversible economic decline sets in when the number of people who are net takers keeps growing in relation to those who are paying taxes.

I have also read that most births in Sweden now are illegitimate.  That will also have an impact on the economic side, for a number of reasons.

Those who encourage this type of economic and social liberalism have no idea of the road to hell that they are paving.

Gee, that is just bullsh**t, sorry. People here just don't marry, they still live together.

I hope you're right.
