They make fun of the millions that died from Stalins tyrannical rule. They even support state capitalists, Putin and Xi. Do not trust them, they are draconian tankies who ban anyone who disagrees with them.

As others have pointed out, and assuming this isn't a bit, it's not worth talking about any existing capitalist country's social safety nets because they're all based on decades (often centuries) of exploitation. It's a totally false comparison, and as the world moves past the aftermath of WW2 and the sole-superpower dynamic that defined it we'll see these countries regress in time. Maybe they'll manage to vote in socialists to keep things stable for 99,% of the populace, most likely doing so will just lead to the same spiral of foreign intelligence activity that socialist nations have faced historically.
Eg CIA will finance terrorism inside their borders, destabilize and propagandize its populations with only the best, unsustainable outcomes of capitalism. They'll use NGOs and a class of collaborators & agents to try to change the legal and regulatory framework, and impose austerity. If the tamping down of those agents is just a bit too reasonable, the "repression" will be weaponized in the press to browbeat them for authoritarianism, to get them to roll back and allow the takeover, or if they double down to "justify" military occupation.
More likely than not though, the liberals in those Nordic states will simply align with fascists as soon as the gears start grinding and they have to figure out which individuals of ethnic and political minorities to imprison for forced labor to keep things moving.
