Socialism is exactly what Canada, NZ, Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland, Norway, Finland, China, Singapore, Belgium
No, those countries aren't socialists, far from it. Even China stopped being a real socialist country after Mao's revolutions.
I already shared this link but I will do it again, https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking
Check the economic freedom index and you will see those countries have a lot of it.
I think it would clear things up if you could share your own definition of socialism, can you define socialism?
Yes, socialism is the state ownership or control over fundamental sectors of society, such as health, education and utilities.

Yes, so? did you check the economic freedom of those countries in the index I shared?
State ownership is computed into those rankings, stop calling those countries socialist because they are simple not socialist, they have free market capitalism.
China is different though, but still, they stopped supporting those obsolete ideas after Mao's revolution ended.
Can you share data that can justify why do you think those countries are socialists?

They are socialist and socialism is not against free market.
All those countries have strict regulations regarding environment protection, they all offer extensive welfare and all have free health care and education. They regulate business and tax heavily, and they are socialist because of the extent of welfare system they have in place.

Socialism isn't about that, you said it yourself in a previous comment where you defined socialism. Those countries aren't socialists, they have a market economy, you cannot have a market economy and socialism at the same time.

Yes you can. You obviously don't know what socialism is.

Socialism isn't about any welfare state, much less if the welfare state is supported by a capitalist economy.
Socialism is a different system, and again, you said it yourself when I asked you to define it and you defined it properly.
