Doesn’t seem like it did it in Norway. Or the Us from the new deal until the 1970s. Or the vast majority of western Europe. This red scare stuff is tiring.

is there something structural that prevents it from becoming Norway ??

US did embrace socialism with New Deal, but went bankrupt in 1970s and had to get rid of the gold standard
