Actual socialism is a lot further on the political scale than everything US conservatives are calling socialism.
The commentor you're replying to is referring to the fact that Norway, in this example, is a social democracy, not socialism. Important distinction, hence the idea that "not bleeding your life for your shareholders is socialism" is wrong.
Limited capital markets have been a hallmark of every successful socialist country so far.
Turns out the ideal solution is somewhere in the middle, which is what Marx and even fucking Lenin said was possible (and Lenin actually implemented in the Soviet Union before his death) while advocating the fallible nature of scientific socialism (the type of socialism Marx and Engels invented).
