After reading in economic systems and how have they been applied, I started realising how impossible it is to have a good true socialist country.

    Also let me interdouce you to Switzerland, from Wikipedia:

    " The economy of Switzerland is one of the world’s most advanced and a highly-developed free market economy. The economy of Switzerland has ranked first in the world since 2015 on the Global Innovation Index and third in the 2020 Global Competitiveness Report. According to United Nations data for 2016, Switzerland is the third richest landlocked country in the world after Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Together with the latter and Norway, they are the only three countries in the world with a GDP per capita (nominal) above US$90,000 that are neither island nations nor ministates."

    So capitalisim work.

      At the cost of whom, though? Milllions of brown people slaving away in the global south and the destruction of the planet. If that “works” for you, cool.

      Switzerland is a fucking mirage. That country exists how it does purely because immense amounts of money is pumped into the country by billionaires. If you try to buy wurst in Zurich it’ll cost you somewhere around 13 francs.

      Switzerland is a dumb and unrepeatable example.

        Taiwan, From Wikipedia:

        The economy of Taiwan is a highly developed free-market economy. It is the 8th largest in Asia and 20th-largest in the world by purchasing power parity, allowing Taiwan to be included in the advanced economies group by the International Monetary Fund. Taiwan is notable for its rapid economic development from an agriculture-based society to an industrialised, high-income country. This economic growth has been described as the Taiwan Miracle. It is gauged in the high-income economies group by the World Bank. Taiwan is one of the most technologically advanced computer microchip and high-tech electronics industries makers in the world.
