Yeah, but the Scandanavians had the sort of people who could make socialism sort-of work. The USA lacks that - we have lots more wannbe freeloaders.

Socialism encourages and creates freeloaders, irrespective of “the sort of people.”
Take Germany. West and East ethnically identical.
After 1989 and unification, a huge problem existed, because those in/from the East were so indoctrinated with expectation that government provided a living, regardless of their own productivity.
Westerners resented their lazy Eastern cousins.
Easterners were saddened to start having to work.
