Can you elaborate on all those points?
What empire does Scandinavia have?
What signs of "decay" do you see?
What do you mean by exploitation?
Scandinavian countries export industrial and financial Capital to the Global South, to Super-Exploit internationally for domestic Super-Profits.
Scandinavian countries have seen decreasing social safety nets and rising inequality.
Capitalism inherently contains the exploitation of the Worker by the Owner, where the Owner pays the Worker less than the value the Worker creates, and profits from that difference.
