Finland's version of capitalism is in another universe compared to North American capitalism. Finland had UBI, rehabilitation first prisons, housing is treated more as a human right. Socialism doesn't mean the abolition of commerce, it just removes the predatory hoodwink from the equation.

Finland had UBI

We have never had UBI. Only some local experiments that have ended now. Other things you said are correct though.
