This gets really interesting if we try and look at it from an evolutionary psychology point of view. Have Scandinavians developed their own behaviorial adaptations in the last 100 years that has caused them to act more peacefully and with more societal good in mind?
Obviously that would be unlikely, thus pointing to the fact that perhaps there isn't an inherant association between violence, dictatorships and socialism/communism. Instead a more likely answer would be that perhaps societies with these aspects are drawn to communism. Or perhaps it has been purely coincidence that countries with violence and dictatorships picked communism and that these two apsects of society are part of a bigger picture we aren't analyzing.
