I dunno, capitalist social democracies seem quite nice compared to socialist counties.
They are nice to live in, generally. They are also developed countries that can only exist due to the US's Military presence as a peacemaking force, and require economic Imperialism on their own part throughout less developed countries via companies like Nestlé in order to actually generate the wealth needed to provide for their generous Social Safety nets within Capitalism. Additionally, the Nordic countries are seeing skyrocketing disparity over time.
