Socialism is another word for communism. No communist country, to my knowledge, has been successful. Russia, East Germany, North Korea, Vietnam, etc. all are in financial ruin or are so screwed up that the quality of life there is very poor. These countries are more interested in building weapons than feeding their people.

Denmark is doing great, thank you. And the people of Cuba are far better off than the people of Guatamala, Mexico and many other latin American countries. If the US had not put the blokeade on Cuba, it would be in a far greater position.
Democracy is nothing more than a beautiful concept that everyone in the world should be entitled to. However, it has one major flaw: It is the only door to capitalism.
Capitalism, and the human greed it fosters, is the terminal cancer that eventually consumes and destroys true democracy. People eventually become enraged at being raped by the rich and privileged, and rise up and revolt, and dictatorial government is the result.
The prime example of this simple fact is the wanton destruction of personal freedoms; the rape, murder, pillaging and occupation of other nations for their natural resources. This is the United States of America.
The real tragedy of all this is that despots like George W. Bush claim they are doing this to preserve democracy in the U.S. The fact is Americans lost their democracy the day he became president. There is a way to preserve personal freedoms and
democracy; it is called social democracy. Social democracy allows everyone to benefit, not just the wealthy. Social democracy is not communism.

Sweden
Although technically still a monarchy all the legislative decisions are made by the parliamentary house. The party in power is currently the Swedish Social Democratic Party. They are democratic socialist.

Actually, someone else has already posted this question, but again, I'll point out the fact that China is a Communist country that's on its way to becoming a superpower.
