Sarcasm?
The war on drugs in Sweden is about as effective in Sweden as elsewhere and brings with it this kind of crime
False. Sweden is doing it right. When they have a social issue, they go after those causing harm, and treat those affected as the victims.
Heroin - It is illegal, but while the drug dealers are arrested for dealing illegal drugs, the users are treated as victims... they receive counseling, housing, medical assistance, and job placement.
Nope. It's the complete opposite. Swedish drug enforcement is a complete disaster. We have among the highest mortality rates in Europe for our addicts. We do not treat addicts as sick people. We treat them as criminals who just need to be punished really harshly until they stop. Getting into rehab is absurdly hard. Preventative care to help people before they develop serious addictions is non-existent. I can go on for days about this. It's a total joke. Every other country in Europe is better. Romanian drug prevention is doing a better job.
Sweden is good for many things. This is something we should feel shame about. We're doing it all wrong and the statistics show it. It is slowly slowly getting better. At least we're now allowing addicts to get hold of clean needles. A bit late though, since they now all have AIDS and Hepatitus C. Well done Sweden. Better late than never though.
Prostitution - it is illegal, but the prostitutes are not arrested, they get free counseling and work placement. The 'Johns' are arrested.
Also false. Immediately after prostitution became legalised (it's legal to sell, not buy) prostitutes formed a union. It turns out that prostitutes rarely are victims are verbal and have no problems arguing their case. Making the johns only illegal makes the life of prostitutes incredibly dangerous. Before they could get all the details from the john. Today johns won't meet them unless they can stay anonymous. Before they could share information about bad johns between them. Now they can't as effectively.
Also turns out that most prostitutes prefer whoring than other jobs so aren't interested in counseling and work placement. Sweden has a well developed social welfare system. Nobody needs to be a prostitute here. That's been the case since the 1940's. We still have prostitutes.
Whether or not trafficking happens is hotly debated. Chances are that all trafficking numbers are bullshit. A major reason to suspect that is that most prostitutes are happy about being prostitutes. And now when they're legal they're not hiding anymore. It makes no sense why a John would pay to fuck an enslaved prostitute and not a voluntary prostitute. We can ask them. But this turned out to be extremely embarrassing for the feminists who pushed this through, since the prostutitues aren't playing the victim role the feminists have given them. Awkward. So they've been completely silenced in the press. Nobody interviews them.
If you don't believe me, here's the link to the Swedish prostitutes union. They're primarily fighting for getting prostitution completely legalised and treated as any other job.

So the "Swedish model" has been an absolute disaster and it's bizarre how the Swedish feminists keep trying to push it. It's just morally wrong and wicked. When it comes to this they really disgust me. They clearly have no care in the world for these women they're trying to "protect". They're not. All they've done is make the lives of prostitutes needlessly more dangerous.
So you really picked the two Swedish legal models that have turned out to be a disaster in every way.
