Those aren't socialist nations
Not really a coherent reply, for US politics. In our two party system, most Americans do regard many popular European policies as socialism.
The US and Europe DO have socialized things. Mass transit, roads, health care systems, retirement systems, etc.
Finding a contemporary nation that is 100% capitalist with everything 100% privatized is pretty hard to find. Ditto for modern socialism with everything 100% socialized. Most places are a combo or capitalism and socialism.
Yes but this doesn't count, for reasons.
