Whoops.

Follow up fun fact: all of those countries rank higher than the US on the happiness scale. Apparently when people aren't worried about basic needs, they tend to live more fulfilling lives. ***** wild.

Norway's not socialist:

Quote:In 2015, in fact, the Prime Minister of Denmark, in a lecture at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, addressed the issue directly.

Quote:I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.

Actually, none of the Nordic countries are socialist, and that includes Finland.

Canada's not socialist either:

Quote:So, the answer to ‘is Canada socialist’ is… not really! 

Japan's also not a socialist country:

Quote:Japan is a capitalist country with some socialism traits.

So, those countries may have aspects of socialism, like the US does with things like Medicare and minimum wage laws, but they're far from socialists countries.

Whoops.
