Northern Europe is Capitalist with safety nets, not Socialist. Regardless of how well or poorly they are doing (they seem to be declining in many metrics they lead the rest of the world in), if you want to advocate for adopting some of their successful policy, call it Social Democracy.

Socialism isn't "moderate safety nets," it's an economic system based on Worker Ownership of the Means of Production.
