So Denmark? The nation whose PM said in 2015,

"I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism," he said. "Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."

In Rasmussen's view, "The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state which provides a high level of security to its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish.""

The Scandinavian nations are not socialist. They are not promoting workers owning the means of production and frequently push for free trade.

You are outright confused as to what socialism is and you should be less certain in your statements given that obvious confusion.
