"The Nordic Model isn't socialism!"

"OK, so let's implement their policies."

"No, that's socialism!"

Confusing. The people saying "The Nordic Model isn't socialism!" are the people who are responding to "No, that's socialism!" Saying that the nordic model isn't socialism is a response to those who oppose it by saying it is, an attempt to persuade anti-socialists to chill out.

No, that's not true. For example, the Heritage Foundation: https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/the-myth-s...
