NO. 5: JAPAN - Ditto
NO. 6: SWEDEN - Definitely a socialist hellhole
NO. 7: AUSTRALIA - Same as Japan and the UK
NO. 8: UNITED STATES - Probably the least socialist among the top 10
NO. 9: FRANCE - Socialist hellhole once again
NO. 10: NETHERLANDS - And yet another socialist hellhole
NO. 11: DENMARK - Socialist hellhole
NO. 12: NORWAY - Socialist hellhole
NO. 13: NEW ZEALAND - Not sure about this one, maybe the same as Australia?
NO. 14: FINLAND - Socialist hellhole
NO. 15: ITALY - Not sure about this, but my impression is that many people here would consider it to be a socialist hellhole

Notice the pattern. Most of the top 15 best countries in the world would, according to some people here on CD, be considered socialist hellholes.

Why can you not compare? What works on a small scale can work on a larger scale as well given there are competent people who manage it all.

Not necessarily. Much harder on a larger scale.

The population of France is 66 million...so, yeah, your argument is pretty much worthless.

Actually the US is number 1, as evidenced by the largest number of immigrants that enter each year. And validated by the millions of illegal aliens and foreigners who overstay visas.
