      the image refers to the average hog’s image of Norway. and also when people say socialist when they refer to european countries they mostly refer to policies, not the entire economic system. universal healthcare is an example.

        The types of companies that are allowed to operate and the bounds in which they are allowed to operate absolutely define countries. Norway has a capitalist economy, which allows this kind of company to thrive.

          Yes. Socialism and capitalism can go hand in hand. No need to focus your 1 brain cell on one or the other. Grow a few new ones and consider having healthcare socialized for starters.
