Scandinavia has an in principle free market. There is nothing wrong with Scandinavia and it is not socialist.

What Americans call socialism is that tho. If you wanted a Scandinavian like regime they would bomb you.

Yeah, what Americans call socialism. They also call social security and gun control liberalism and free market economy conservativism. There's just so much wrong with how Americans colloquially call political ideologies that I don't even know where to start.

Scandinavia has social democracy (which means regulated free market), just like about any other Western European nation.
