a mix of capitalism and socialism. perhaps you confuse socialism with communism. Not at all. According to Marx, socialism was a step on the way to communism..........it share's some of communism's attributes. Now remember we are talking pure socialism, not capitalistic hybrids. Popular collectives, classless societies are typical of Cuba and the kibbutzim. However, if you want to throw them into communism that's fine with me. My only point continues to be that Finland is not an example of pure socialism....like the US, its a capitalitic/socialistic hybrid. "Socialism is an ideology with the core belief that a society should exist in which popular collectives control the means of power, and therefore the means of production. In application, however, the de facto meaning of socialism has changed with time. Although it is a politically loaded term, it remains strongly related to the establishment of an organized working class, created through either revolution or social evolution, with the purpose of building a classless society. It has also increasingly become concentrated on social reforms within modern democracies. This concept and the term Socialist may refer to a group of ideologies, an economic system, or a state that exists or has existed."
