None of these countries have the government or the community controlling the means of production, meaning they're Capitalist fully. That is completely false. In the countries listed the government controls the healthcare system, education and in some cases the banks. That is socialism, not capitalism. Please see:- The goal of social ownership is to eliminate the distinction between the class of private owners who are the recipients of passive property income and workers who are the recipients of labor income (wages, salaries and commissions), so that the surplus product (or economic profits in the case of market socialism) belong either to society as a whole or to the members of a given enterprise. Social ownership would enable productivity gains from labor automation to progressively reduce the average length of the working day instead of creating job insecurity and unemployment. Reduction of necessary work time is central to the Marxist concept of human freedom and overcoming alienation, a concept widely shared by Marxist and non-Marxist socialists alike.[6][7] The term "socialization" refers to the process of restructuring the economic framework, organizational structure and institutions of an economy on a socialist basis.[8] The comprehensive notion of socialization and the public ownership form of social ownership implies an end to the operation of the laws of capitalism, capital accumulation and the use of money and financial valuation in the production process, along with a restructuring of workplace-level organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialownership https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socializedmedicine http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/ Side: But mah narrative
