Sounds like your definition of “socialism” is (like Cato’s) “a state that is easy to criticise”. ACS did are some of the most socialist governments. They are clever about it for sure but that is why they are so inconvenient. Hell look as Norway socialising profits a from oil exploration to lift an entire nation out of poverty.

They are social democracies. Even Wikipedia makes it clear.
Dunno where people got the idea these countries where socialist.

You are using a cold war definition of socialism. It’s outdated
Socialism isn’t the opposite of democracy
Socialism is what social democracies do.

Your wiki links sentence says it’s within socialism which would make them socialist.
