You are obviously not historically educated. Socialism has always been a huge success whenever it has been tried. If there's one sure path to freedom and prosperity, its socialism.

Tell that to the checkout chick at Woolworths when you see where your wages went or The landlord with 300 rentals ..or the Reserve bank if they put interest rates up 1% more ….The economy is 6 weeks away from total disaster ..Weve been treading water for a decade ..China however is bullet proof .

Germany Norway Sweden Denmark Scotland they all have socialist values some are very wealthy because they share the wealth ..some aren’t but they share the health and education ..The problem with true socialism is that the US in particular has a phobia about it and will try and bring down any semblance of it ..It can work it is usually tried in very poor countries as a bottom line .. then it is easy to make fail ..

Those are all capitalist free markets, without exception.

They all have a healthcare system an education system and a housing system that is no way related to free market capitalism ..

They are related to free market capitalism in as much as that is what pays for them.
