The distinction is important


Let's note the presence of Denmark on that list. An example the Bern has used as his model for "socialism". Except far from being socialist, it is one of the model capitalist societies in the world. Read further down, and Brooks talks about its expansive social safety net, which it can only afford because it is one of the freest economies in the world.

Government spending is NOT Socialism. It is only such when the Government assumes direct control over an industry. Government hospitals and schools are socialism. Government backed student loans or medical reimbursements are not.
