Here’s the thing. They kind of do have socialism. The government has a controlling interest in their biggest industry. They also have a government that is very responsive to the people. I’d argue they have one of the most successful examples of socialism in the world.
They don’t advertise it. I’ve seen a right wing guy identify them as such, and then praising the Anders attack from 20 years ago as punishment for their socialism. I think it was the chinless guy who follows Theil around.
The Norwegian government has 60 to 70% of the shares in Equinor, and all oil companies on the Norwegian continental shelf had to provide daily and monthly drilling and boring reports, and the companies are taxed heavily.

This shows Americans haven’t got a clue of what socialism is.
