Would you consider any European country currently existing to fall under the category of Democratic Socialism?

    So, I've answered all your questions because that's what someone does when they're asked a question.

    I assume I've answered them adequately since you've seemingly run out of questions and have alluded to making a point about why you were asking them in the first place. Which is odd, because we're in a comment thread. If I didn't know the answer to one of your technical questions, I could simply look it up before replying. Trying to trip someone up with technical questions in an asynchronous comment thread doesn't really accomplish much.

    More importantly, I've answered every question you've asked without giving you anything to rebut, so there doesn't seem to be much left to say.

    Interestingly, though, nobody ever answers my questions.

    So I'll ask again:

    Which communist country, past or present, would you choose to live in?

    If you're asking that question, your betraying your own ignorance. The definition of communism is classless and stateless, meaning there cannot be a commumist state.

    By the way for the majority of human history humans lived in communes! It's just human nature ;)

    That wasn't your original question though. You did not originally ask which "communist" country, you asked which "socialist" country, so I asked what you meant by "socialist", because my first answer would have been Norway or Sweden, which I would have considered a brand of socialist.

    I apologize you are correct I did indeed do that. My intention was not to obfuscate this interaction I apologize.

    I will point out in closing that Sweden and Norway are not socialist in nature but are socially Democratic countries with deep and vibrant capitalist economies.
