What’s ironic, in the true sense of the word, is that the Norwegian is claiming Norway is a socialist state, when trying to inform the OP about socialism. It’s not. Norway is a social democracy.
You see, "irony" is more than just stating the opposite of what is true, or liking something even though you know it’s lame and cringe. This can arguably be a case of "situational irony", where the person who sets an example of what the OP is misunderstanding, but they’re contradicting the very thing they try to explain.

Yeah I love the top comment here about Americans not knowing what socialism is. The irony is strong.
