That’s why most countries are what we call “mixed economies”, that mix elements of capitalism and socialism.

No. They are capitalist.

I’m not sure how that link is supposed to refute anything? It says basically what the comment above says without using the phrase “mixed economies”.

If you meant the power structure and public/private balance is heavily capitalist for Nordic countries then you’d probably want to post something else supporting that statement.

Hey, I’m the author of that post! I don’t see how my post says the same thing at all, it very much talks about which aspect, private or public, has power in society is what determines the nature of its economy.

By that logic, socialism cannot exist until the entire planet is socialist.

Close. Communism cannot exist until the entire planet is Socialist, but Socialism can be determined at a country level.

This seems needlessly arbitrary and reductive. Socialism exists all around us, it isn’t defined by a country’s borders.
