Socialism and socialistic countries

Your conclusion is illogical therefore incorrect. You wanted the name of one country that was independent of American influence that had free healthcare and college education that had not collapsed overnight. I successfully answered that question.

I could name more but you requested only one.

You are now presenting a separate question as to which economic system is best. Personally, I don't believe in one size fits all political or economic systems. Many factors must be taken into account.

The U.S. isn't really a capitalist system. It is really socialist since it has public owned and run systems like public school, welfare, public transportation, public hospitals, etc.

It has more private enterprise than a "communist" country like Vietnam which is also socialist. The difference is that they have less private run businesses than the U.S.. All countries are basically socialist but on a spectrum with more or less private and public run businesses.

BTW, the "drugs and medical research they depend on that come from the US" were not really created by private companies. Most research is actually publicly funded and billions are given to these private companies to research new technologies. Most people are not aware of this. The best example is the internet. Private industry won't do it on its own. That's socialism!

You're welcome.
