Socialist can be a good thing, it just depends on how it is handled. It is just like capitalism, it can be good or bad. Norway and Canada's method of capitalism appears to be more healthy then the USA"s right now. Similarly, Sweeden's breed of "socialism" is way more healthy then that of Greece's and the USSR's (which is easily argued not even classify as socialism or communism).
Also, are you referring to my nations' crazy tax rates... Yeah... about that...

Accidental 94% here, and that's after enacting tax cut policies (it used to be 98%). At those tax rates, I'd expect the following things:
Each student's teaching is one-on-one, one teacher to one student...
Everyone has all of their needs (clean water, house, healthcare, transportation, food, recreational areas, waste disposal, internet, and clothes) provided for absolutely free, and all ventures into working is purely for want.
Arts and culture is exceptionally developed.
My defense forces, reaching an accidental 8% of my budget (7.5% of my whole GDP, which puts the USA to shame at 4%) is insanely powerful. This I did not want, but meh. All of the military is in reserve though, meaning that we're just stockpiling in case of an invasion.
And other things as well. This means... well... yeah.
Based on the fact that there is still a 49% private sector, it does speak a lot...

And I just remembered why my military budget is so high. First off, NS groups space research with the military, and to add to that, most of my military budget itself is on space research and space weapons. You're looking at a army of researchers, not a army of soldiers .
Only a small portion is devoted to stockpiling weapons and whatnot, so if we do get invaded, we go all guerilla/asymmetrical warfare on them.
Of course, I'm talking for if my nation was MT... FT you get this

I didn't intend for people in my nation to be relative druggies (slightly more then world average), but I guess that was the price I payed when I simply sided with the guy for more rights and freedoms lol.
Wait: I have another justification for that. There are drugs/herbs which make your brain better/photographic memory, and so due to the extreme emphasis on education, knowledge and etc. my nation places, some people resort to that. That and since we come from Asia, herbal medicines are used very often.
