America exported capitalism and it's being adapted. Europe imported communism and adapted it.

There are several flavors of capitalism

Savage capitalism of Brazil pre-Lula.

State capitalism of Brazil post-Lula.

Maoist Capitalism of China post-Mao.

Crony Capitalism of Angola, Russia, Indonesia Suharto time,


Europeans afraid of Communism, imported it and adapted (removing its Marxist content) it and turned it into Social Democracies.

No one thinks of destroying civil society as a community ordered in a civilized war. Quite to the contrary, Social Democracy does not want to break up civil society and make all its members proletarians together; rather, it ceaselessly labors to raise the worker from the social position of a proletarian to that of a citizen and thus make citizenship universal. It does not want to replace civil society with a proletarian society but a capitalist order of society with a socialist one." Eduard Bernstein [24]

Sweden Third Way
Germany Christian Democracy
France Gaulism (although considered right wing from the perspective of other Europeans social democracies populism and state dirigisme betrays the Russian ideology of Gaullism)
Greece, Portugal and Spain
Former dictatorships converted to Social Democracy
