Norway isn't particularly socialist at all. Where did you get that idea?
For example, according to the Heritage economic freedom ranking, Norway is 70.8. For comparison the US has 75.4, Singapore 87.8 and Venezuela 33.7.

- KON_Air 10y agoQuick note; economic freedom is expected to reach %100 in socialism too, as the necessity of planning should reduce over time. Even if it is an obivious indicator, I recommend against using it as a "socialism detector".
- woodandsteel 10y agoThe Heritage Foundation is conservative, and so it has a radically different definition of economic freedom than your socialist one. But I bet you already knew that.
- KON_Air 10y agoYeah, I'm still advicing against using it on its own in general.
