The US and Europe DO have socialized things. Mass transit, roads, health care systems, retirement systems, etc.

Finding a contemporary nation that is 100% capitalist with everything 100% privatized is pretty hard to find. Ditto for modern socialism with everything 100% socialized. Most places are a combo or capitalism and socialism.

Yes but this doesn't count, for reasons.

which is the way I would like it but most are socialistic enough for me. Buying tvs. yeah capitalism all the way. Getting healthcare. I don't want to be budgeting that.
