I'm Canadian and my country is extremely successful. We're also pretty socialist. Obviously socialism isnt a binary, but we have universal Healthcare, strong financial regulations, and a stronger more centralized federal government than the US. We're doing very well, and the elements which cause us the most pain tend to be where we are more like the states, not where we're more like Denmark.
