Does Socialism only sort of Work in countries where you Cannot Leave?

It seems to be sort of Working (as far as they say) in China and Cuba, but in Countries Like France ( where you do not need to Build a raft to leave) they find Bussinesses Move out or close. The Working youths look elsewhere for Long term Jobs. The elderly retire out of country and Investment goes off shore. Alpha>>>> Be More Specific as Niether Norway nor Denmark claim to be Socialists they are free market economies with Constitutional Monarchy's..........

1. Socialism only seems to work in nations with homogenous people, similar ethic, and doors closed to immigration.
2. Actually, the countries of Scandinavia adopt a considerable amount of "socialism" in application for their people, and, enjoy one of the highest qualities of life anywhere in the world. Their people are not leaving in any numbers.
3. Socialism is more or less related to authoritarian regimes like Stalin-ism, Maoism, regime of Fidel Castro in Cuba or Moamer El Gaddafi in Lybia...It kind of works if people are controlled by the states apparatus... Socialism as some kind of mid - way between capitalism and communism never really worked...so, we can only talk about democratic countries, with free trade economies and certain social regulative and those led by more or less totalitarian regimes, that are in control of their nations ...
4. America is one of the most successful socialist nations out there and people are free to leave it. Yes, legally it is socialist but given the nation's former history of freedom the Powers That Be(tm) aren't too quick to broadcast this fact far and wide like other socialist nations do.
5. Let's consider Sweden for a moment, it has 9 million people, roughly less than half the size of a large AMerican city, with a GDP of $38,480 per capita. For every dollar of GDP the government takes $0.64 and spend $0.61 and people complain about taxes in AMerica, wow. And like a good commie country the rich get rich and the poor get poorer, Income distribution > Poorest 10%: 3.7% Income distribution > Poorest 20%: 9.6% Income distribution > Richest 10%: 20.1% Income distribution > Richest 20%: 34.5% Roland Huntford's book on Sweden, THE NEW TOTALITARIANS describes the corruption in the judicial system where freedom of speech or dissent is non-existent and those who dare are generally put in prison without benefit of trial. Now that is a shining example of what socialism is. If this is what the socialists in the democrat party want, I want them to go there and take their commie crap with them, they would fit in well except they would not be the ruling elite as they are here. socialism is the epitome of evil, it has killed over 120 million people. How many more have to die as a result of socialism before the useful idiots in AMerica get it. There will not be a socialist government in AMerica.
