It's always a bit amusing hearing outsiders refer to Scandinavia as 'socialist'. This is very far from the truth.
In Norway, the Labour party has been in power for much of the last hundred years, seems reasonable that it would be quite the socialist haven. In reality, in the last fifty years, anyone rising to power in the Labour party has had to be pre-approved by the CIA (well documented in e.g. self biographies of the people involved).
As it turns out, unsurprisingly, this has not been very conducive to any form of socialism.
