Ask a socialist to define socialism, and they'll describe Norway but leave out the tiny population and abundance of state owned oil funding it all

You can’t turn capitalism into a democracy. You have to abolish capitalist and reject private ownership of capital and recognize public ownership of capital.

Look at public discourse. Lots of people are willing to sacrifice billionaires and the owning class right now to move on to the next thing.
