Even if a country didn't/doesn't engage directly with colonialism (which Sweden and Norway did, just not as successfully as others), they still benefit from exploiting the global South by being part of the Western system. Their banks finance and benefit from exploitation of the global South. Their industries are fueled by cheap natural resources imported directly or indirectly from the global South. These resources are maintained cheap by constantly destabilizing and puppeteering countries of the global South. For example, if the United States does a coup in Equador to acquire cheap lithium for Tesla's car batteries, then Finland (notorious for importing cheap metal ore, then processing it and exporting the refined product) could just as easily benefit by bidding for and buying a part of the cheap lithium, through a small "cost of imperialism" fee.

The only country that somewhat fuels its social democracy through its own means is Norway, which relies on the North Sea oil & gas operations to do so.

Norway is host to a whole slew of Western instruments, including the organization that promoted Juan Guaido to be the "interim" president of Venezuela.
