The ideals of socialism are that the means of production are owned by the community. So it owns all industry as well.

Communism says that there isn't any individual property.

Scandinavian countries have never been socialist.

The rate of state ownership of capital is fairly high in the Nordics, though. In that sense, they're relatively socialist countries.

Maybe they're not "really socialist", but then by that standard, is there a "really capitalist" country? Even the US, which is probably the most capitalist "developed" country, has some state ownership of production.

state ownership and community ownership aren't the same thing either, to be fair. But given existing systems it's probably the closest one can get.
