Just as I said.....when its democratic....socialism does restrict freedoms.

You got that right, but I think you meant to say something different.

Enforced capitalism would bear the same result.

Enforce capitalism would be a really odd beast. Capitalism is the operation of the free market. If you try to force it its not really a free market. Going to some commune with guns and saying "you all have to buy and sell from each other and keep your profits and property separate" wouldn't be capitalism.

As for Poland's unemployment rate

"The euro area

stood at 7.3% in September 2007, compared to
7.4% in August

. It was 8.1% in September 2006. The EU27

unemployment rate was 7.0% in September 2007,

. It was 8.0% in September 2006.
In September 2007, the lowest rates were registered in the Netherlands (3.1%) and Denmark (3.3% in August
2007), and the highest in Slovakia (11.1%) and Poland (8.8%). "

Unemployment 8.8% (September 2007)[2]
en.wikipedia.org

"...Equally spectacular and at least as welcome is the stunningly rapid decline in unemployment over the past few quarters..."

oecdobserver.org

Also apparently the way Poland calculates the rates inflates its official unemployment levels

"Polish president Lech Kaczynski criticised compatriots working in the UK for artificially raising Poland's unemployment statistics. Many of the estimated 1 million Poles living in the UK are still registered as unemployed in the home country. "
