Ted Re..Secondly, level of socialism determines the degree of incentives. <<<<<

That's like saying hardly pregnant. Either you are or aren't. A blended down socialism isn't socialism anymore.

In Norway, however, there seem to be more incentives to grow and prosper.

Those incentives are are called capitalism.

As for communism, I don't know how you can make your statement since to my knowledge no country in the world has established an economy based on communism as outlined by K. Marx. <<<<

Many countries started out with Marx in mind, but were forced to try alternatives. Lenin himself, was a strong proponent of Marx, but had to change to save the regime.

So I don't think we know what the results would be under a communistic form of gov't and economy

We certainly have had communities based upon Marx; if not the whole country. They haven't been able to grow either.. Go figure.

In fact, I have found that companies which employ one aspect of communism....ownership by employees...companies like SAWS...tend to do very well economically. SAWS was doing so well, it just got bought out.

There is a huge difference between employee ownership, and socialism. And UAL hasn't done well by the way.
