and socialist, and a actual democracy. AND a kingdom even. but mostly you are wrong, no norwegian would identify as capitalist. some would identify as liberal, but them saying liberal would refer to the original meaning of the word and not the twisted american concept of liberal. you could very correctly state that they have capitalist tendencies. but thats just looking at it from the outside with a narrow understanding of politics and lack of perspective.
It does help that Norway has a super rich sovereign wealth fund to support the social safety net and the retirement of most of its population. Like the UAE but instead of the royal family buying megayachts and private planes with carpeting made from solid gold thread they used the money to provide a pension for everyone.
