After the Great Depression. Many Western Countries adopted social programmes to aid its citizens instead of the Laissez-Faire policy of the past. Third World Governments introduced a centralized economy that bankrupted their nations. Many nations have social programmes and have some degree of socialism

The people don't have to take care of themselves, because the Government will take care of everything. That way, the People don't have to have any responsibility, and that is why those people like Hillary Clinton, because she wants more and more socialism.
It's basically the opposite of Free Markets and Capitalism, which is obviously evil, since we've created more wealth for more people than any society in the history of the world by doing it in the USA, the greatest country on God's Green Earth.

Which socialism?
There are about 100 definitions ranging from some idealized utopian fantasy world to the totalitarian U.S.S.R. To some people, socialism is anything other than the U.S. To others, its the idea that the government pays all your bills and lets you keep some left overs.
If you mean an economic model that is partially user-driven and partially government-driven, well, I would say that includes just about every country on earth.

A country that has socialism is a country that has its government provide its resources. The United States has a form of socialism, such as in welfare, and things like that. Communist countries have socialism, because the government contols everything, so the government gives the people their resources. Karl Marx was the one who identified modern socialism.

The United States of America, Canada, just about all of the European Union...
These are 'social democracies' - socialist states that retain a modicum of freedom, a paradoxically 'regulated free market,' and democratic institutions.

Depends on how you define socialism.
If you definte it broadly like cons do, then all first world countries are socialist.
We have public education, state subsidized and controlled universities, job training, GI Bills, student grants, subsidized loans, public housing, medicare, medicaid, social security, public health utilities, public transportation, lots of regulation to protect workers, consumers, and citizens, etc, etc.
