France is perhaps the most successful socialist country today.
They balance personal freedom and socialism much better than anyone else with the pssible exception of Denmark or Sweden.



China - not so good but going forward in a hurry until their air and water set them back.

US- going backward in democracy, economy and compassion.

Russia- going forward with their version of the Bush's Young Republican religio-politic democracy movement ( which is neither democratic or a true Hitler Youth program).
