After reading in economic systems and how have they been applied, I started realising how impossible it is to have a good true socialist country.

      From Wikipedia:

      The economy of Norway is a highly developed mixed economy with state-ownership in strategic areas. Although sensitive to global business cycles, the economy of Norway has shown robust growth since the start of the industrial era. The country has a very high standard of living compared with other European countries, and a strongly integrated welfare system. Norway’s modern manufacturing and welfare system rely on a financial reserve produced by exploitation of natural resources, particularly North Sea oil.

        Basically no country is what people state or think it is. Particularly if you ask an american, it is like everything becomes communist or socialist if there are any social supports in the system.

        Having said that a pure socialist system probably would not work, just like a direct democracy or pure democracy likely would not work… There is some form of mixed policies needed for economic growth and some social for safety of the citizens.
