To me the most enlightened economies are hybrids of socialism and capitalism, as in certain Scandinavian countries.

There is nothing enlightened about exploiting other human beings.

Hitler is a far more notable and successful economic example until maybe 1941

Socialism doesn’t work unless it is funded by capitalism.

Yes, but Marianne, have you ever considered that what you call "socialism" and "capitalism" is not what socialist countries call them? Because that's what's going on here.

I get what you're going for, but there are socialist systems that have markets. Don't let them define capitalism as 'the existence of trade', we've had that since the beginning. Capitalism as an ideology is barely a century out.
