### Comment:
All Scandinavian countries incorporate elements of socialism, which is a very broad term that comes in many flavors. As for full-blown communism or socialism not working, that is true of every ism in its absolute form. Absolute capitalism doesn't work either, except on paper.

### REPLY:
These countries are capitalist market economies with like 5% socialism sprinkled in. Using them as good examples of socialism is not cool, since their socialist policies are getting carried hard by the capitalist free market.

### END.
