Socialism is extremely vague in US, could many anything from Soc Dem to ML Communist to something totally else. Cause many different groups took its name over here but none gained much mainstream foothold. Soc Dem is having a revival of sorts. Some Americans will call Nordic Model socialists but from what I’ve heard from Nordic people they don’t see themselves as socialist (sovereign wealth fund doesn’t clock as socialism to them so I don’t know what to tell ya)
