Exactly! So would a capitalist country like the USA. Martin's definition of
"socialist" robs the word of *any* distinctive meaning. I suspect that his
rather silly claim that Norway is a "socialist" country is behind this
woolley thinking, he's trying to make the definition of socialist fit the
Norwegian capitalist economy and of course the only way to make a square
peg fit into a round hole of to plane down the corners of the peg.

I've found the best way is to put the square peg in the *square* hole
Martin. ;-)
