sweden is a regular euro liberal country that still has a reputation of being a good socdem country because during the Palme years 40-50 years ago it was better than most euro countries, and somehow it's still riding high on that reputation. since the 90s the whole social welfare system has been dismantled, public utilities have been privatized, and now it's just another laughable euro country ruled by unholy coalitions of neoliberals, populists and blairites.
if you want to see a "socialist-capitalist" country, there are a couple of socialist countries in east asia that implemented some market reforms in the 80s/90s to build up productive forces while still having a socialist control of the economy. they seem to be doing okay.
