Well, socialism has unfortunately become welded in the minds of many to the idea of a one party police state, where dissent from the party line is punished.

It doesn't help that russia imposed that government on the countries that neighbored it after ww2, and the whole berlin wall issue.

Scandinavian socialism at least can show people that socialism doesn't have to be associated with giving up the ability to protest against the government.

Doesn't that seem like a mixed market economy though? Decentralized socialism where the government controls energy, healthcare, basic food, and everything else is done by businesses .
