  socialism is always in contrast to private ownership

  The Nordic Model is public ownership of high value industry (most notably, the O&G industry).

And strong union membership puts a public leash on private enterprises at the level of direct worker action.

    “The government controls around 35% of the total value of publicly listed companies on the Oslo stock exchange, with five of its largest seven listed firms partially owned by the state.[34]” good, but not socialism. Free healthcare and schools are not related to socialism.
