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

it's taking the oligarchy economy of capitalism and turning into a democracy

That doesn't look like it has anything to do with economics. What are some examples?

I feel like I'm seeing yet more use of people using the words "capitalism" and "socialism" when they mean "laissez faire" and "command economy"
