Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. All are hybrids of Socialism and Capitalism with a safety net for all.

Socialism and communism are working in the United States if you are a corporation producing for the Pentagon. Military spending is at the core of the Corporate Socialism and has effectively dominates our high tech manufacturing sector. No wonder we have been continuously at War since 1940. Peace would threaten too may profits and too many overpaid executives retired from the Pentagon.
