Norway, Finland, and all these countries are actually implementing some socialist policies. Even though they are still capitalist, its the most socialist and egalitarian the world that exists on a large scale (beyond just a small commune)
Social democracies are not socialism, really ironic when people will accuse DPRK of being a monarchy but like… the Nordic social democracies are monarchies with somewhat decent welfare state and democratic representation
Of course, Social Democracy is not Socialism. But I’m talking about some of the Policies they implemented that are “Socialist”.
Edit: And I don’t think the monarchs these days (except for the absolute monarchies) actually do anything. In Constitutional Monarchies, their power is very limited. They mostly just sit around be be celebrities, and hoard up wealth. They don’t really have much political power anymore. Its mostly just symbolic.
(Although, I’m not sure why they still keep up the weird traditions, like just ditch it already. Become a Republic!)
