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.

        You’re welcome.

        You’re also wrong. Take a look at Finland for example, where homelessness doesn’t exist. (With the exception of approximately 1,000 willfully nomadic people.)

          From Wikipedia:

          “The economy of Finland is a highly industrialised, mixed economy with a per capita output similar to that of western European economies such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The largest sector of Finland’s economy is its service sector, which contributes 72.7% to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP); followed by manufacturing and refining at 31.4%; and concluded with the country’s primary sector at 2.9%.”

          I believe you misunderstood their economy.

            Not at all.

            Most economies that are a mix of capitalism and socialism are broadly classified as socialist, at least here in the US, because our version of capitalism is so vulgarly predatory.

            Just because our economy and Finland’s share one aspect does not make the two comparable.
