This isn't Socialism, it's regulated Capitalism, akin to the Nordic Model.

  "The Nordic Model isn't socialism!" "OK, so let's implement their policies." "No, that's socialism!" (cribbed from a meme; https://twitter.com/pty/status/1109687920938541057 https://twitter.com/pty/status/1109687920938541057)

    Confusing. The people saying "The Nordic Model isn't socialism!" are the people who are responding to "No, that's socialism!" Saying that the nordic model isn't socialism is a response to those who oppose it by saying it is, an attempt to persuade anti-socialists to chill out.
