would be decried as Socialism and Communism in the United States

Ok? If the definition of communism is whatever Americans decry as socialist/communist, then a whole lotta things are communist.

The free market didn’t fix the housing crisis the government did.

Your point being? That Finland isn't a capitalist country? That wide social safety nets can't exist within a capitalist society? Real Communism™ are the things capitalist countries do that end up being good, while somehow actual communist countries aren't real communist countries since they ended up shafted? Any other borderline psychotic conclusion you want me to jump to or is this all?
