This is a living hell
Remember, socialism is evil because in socialism you won't own anything.
Meanwhile, capitalism creates this…
Socialism is frequently evil because the people pushing for it tend to murder a lot of people for no other reason than opposing socialist dogma.
When we find socialist societies not built on murdering everyone who disagrees with the leader/party/state then we can talk about it being better.
The fucking shit you read on the internet sometimes, wow.
Find me a socialist nation that didn't purge its population please
So Denmark? The nation whose PM said in 2015,
"I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism," he said. "Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."
In Rasmussen's view, "The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state which provides a high level of security to its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish.""

The Scandinavian nations are not socialist. They are not promoting workers owning the means of production and frequently push for free trade.
You are outright confused as to what socialism is and you should be less certain in your statements given that obvious confusion.
If anyone goes on to do this be a dear and find me a capitalist nation that didn't purge its population while you're at it.
