I think in terms of sucessful socialists countries, Democratic Socialist countries with some blend of capitalism work pretty well and the US is pretty much last in quite a few lists when compared to just about every other developed nation.
I think they compared economic mobility and the US ranked #27, it's last in Health Care out of any other developed country in the world, there are a lot of issues with the US and some blend of socialism combined with capitalism isn't an irrational perspective considering the Nordic countries are functioning relatively well.
In regards to quality of life, Sweden, Norway and Canada are ranked #1, #2, #3 respectively. US is ranked below Poland, the shithole of the EU at #23.

It has an economy based on free market capitalism, but I think most Democratic Socialist, when speaking about Democratic Socialism in the US at least, are referring to the Nordic model.

You're thinking of a social democracy, or capitalist welfare state. That's what the Nordic model is.

Maybe I was confused, I don't know about economics.
That was what I meant.

A lot of those countries have the luxury of those systems because America subsidizes them. If all those countries had to pay for a standing military, a patrolling navy, medical technology development, and chemical manufacturing they wouldn't be able to afford those programs.

I don't think they spend that much on those things to destabilize their whole economy. The amount that they're subsidized probably doesn't even make a debt.
One of the reasons why they are probably functioning so well, is they don't elect clowns as politicians who just throw money at whatever and ignore it without any oversight of where the funding goes.

I'm saying we have real life examples that a balance between socialism mixed in with free market capatialism work pretty well.
Free Market capitalism is only proven to work under very set conditions such as with a low population during a major social change.

Balance literally just introduces bad things into capitalism.

In what sense do you feel that the U.S. has "free market capitalism" in a way that distinguishes it from Norway? The U.S. has broad government intervention in a market economy, this is essentially the same model as most countries, especially after the fall of Communism.
This kind of online discussion makes no sense unless you just take "capitalist" to mean "American" and "socialist" to mean "European."

I mean China too, it's just in the completely opposite way of any same human being wants socialism to work.

All the Scandinavian countries are more business friendly than the US and have a high wealth inequality. They are not socialist.
