The Danish PM gave a talk at Harvard in late 2015 where he criticized a certain presidential candidate for saying that Denmark was socialist. We are not, said the Danish PM.

None of the Scandinavian countries are socialist. Rand Paul has a good set of chapters on Scandinavia in his book "The Case Against Socialism." Swedish econ writer Nima Sanandaji also writes about this in his books.
Doesn't matter when half the media (that's the right half, for those keeping scor at home) will ceaselessly call any Scandinavian-style government initiative or policy "socialist".

Well the left half controls the white house, the US house, the Senate, the New York Times, the WAPO, ABC, NBC, CBS, Facebook, Twitter, the public schools, and higher education.

Yet they are somehow unable to educate the public on what 'socialism' means, in the face of Tucker Carlson and a small group of AM radio talk hosts? Right Wing media, you magnificent bas****s!!
