      In Finland, the social democrats are leftists only in right wing rhetoric. Their actual politics are definitely still inside capitalism and not actually leftist. One could consider them centrists in a way

      Scandinavian countries are not leftist.

      They’re some of the most left leaning of Western countries, but they’re not actually on the left side of the spectrum, they’re just less right.

          Yes historically Soc Dems were part of the left, that leftist element is now referred to as Democratic Socialism.

          Soc Dems still sought to do away with capitalism by transitioning to socialism, they just wanted to approach it through gradual change of the system.
