If you’re trying to imply that the existence of a free market makes Finland socialist then it might sound made up because it is made up. Free market doesn’t mean a country is socialist, in fact socialism puritans would say the existence of a market economy means there can’t be socialism. There’s market socialism but Finland doesn’t really fit those models either so in what way is Finland socialist? Because the social democratic party is popular there? Most socialist agree that social democracy is not socialism because its policies are not trying to phase out capitalism but rather try to coexist with it in a mixed economy. Marxist theory implies one purpose of socialism is to depreciate capitalism, which means social democracy is ideologically incompatible with socialism.
