The nordic countries are comparable to the US in terms of economic freedom (i.e. how “capitalist” a country is), the main difference is they have massive social welfare programs, whereas the US has more modest social welfare programs. That’s a very different definition of “socialism” than the classical one, where the means of production are owned collectively by the people.
