Nordic countries are high on the happiness index and they have socialistic aspects to their economies.
They're not socialist countries, sorry.
I clearly wrote socialistic aspects, so you are just dodging.
The nefster on those socialistic aspects:
Nordic countries blend capitalism with socialist-inspired elements, characterized by strong universal welfare states, high taxes funding public services like healthcare/education (often state-run), powerful unions coordinating wages, and high public sector employment, all within a market economy. Key socialist-leaning aspects include: extensive social safety nets (unemployment, pensions), strong worker rights, collective bargaining (corporatism), and significant government ownership in services like childcare, differing from classical socialism by retaining market efficiency.
Can't avoid it with a flop brush off.
