    Idk, I live in Canada and we have a lot of social services. Things are going pretty decently.

    I think you might be conflating socialism (the concept) with communism (the authoritarian system of government).

      I would agree Canada is doing well, but Canada is not a socialist country. It’s a capitalist country with good social services.

      Really underlines things when the first country pointed out is capitalist.

        You avoided all questions about where socialism has been truly attempted, you avoided engaging in the distinction the other user brought up that you’re conflating socialism with authoritarian communism, and you’re using A SINGLE EXAMPLE — the ONLY reply to your question — to smugly go “heh, see? Canada is pretty good and it’s CAPITALIST. Checkmate.”
