Pity about Norway where it clearly does. And the NHS too.

Norway is not a socialist country.

The government doing almost all of the power generation
and oil and gas clearly is socialism.

And it is hard to argue that the NHS isn't socialism.

"Socialism" means everything nationalised and everything owned by the
government. No private enterprise at all.

No it does not and no country has ever done that, particularly
the prostitutes and drug runners and home grown vegetables
and all sorts of things like that.

All countries have a mix of socialism and private enterprise
and the only difference is the detail of the mix. Almost all
have the government doing at least some of the schools
and most of the roads and stuff like that now.

And everywhere it's been
tried, people have rebelled one way or another and been repressed one
way or another.

And with the provision of heath care and schools and roads
and stuff like that, it is only the fringe libertarians and their ilk
that demand that government shouldnt be involved in doing
that and there arent enough of them to get their way on that.
