Finland is capitalist and kind of solved homelessness, with there being around only 1.3k homeless people in the entire country (population: 5.6m, which means the rate of homelessness is around 0.02%).

I don't think that communism or any ideology is an answer to homelessness, it's pretty much the job for the government and what kind of systems/reforms they implement.

Where does Finland wealth come tho 🤔

According to Wikipedia, the service sector generates 70% of the wealth, which is similar to the US.

Finland hasn't really solved anything, as social democracies just push the problems elsewhere

You should instead read "Riding the wave" which is a serious book that explains why social democracies rely on imperialism using one case study (Denmark I believe but I haven't read it in forever)

Exactly, their wealth comes from the exploitation of the global south through financial systems. Imperialism.
