I didn't conflate anything, JJ.  Ask Siri the definition of socialism. She will refer you to the dictionary definition I posted for you word for word.  What it has to do with the topic at hand is that Global Warming has been hijacked by the left as a perfect weapon to attack American productivity and cripple the economic growth which can only be achieved through Capitalism.  Capitalism is the target not saving the Earth.   
None of the countries you mention have the explicit protections we have thanks to our founders and the American Constitution.  The Scandinavian countries have learned to protect their businesses which are the basis of their (and every country's) wealth.  The just tax the hell out of their citizens to give them "free" stuff.   
No one denies the existence of Socialism but like leaches on a body, socialism can't live without capitalism.  Once the host is bled dry, Socialist must find another country.  Why doesn't Bernie talk about the greatness of Venezuela anymore?
