you need to brush up on your history lesson... and political science as well...
1. Russia is a communist country... and so are handful of other countries
2. Sweden is a Constitutional Monarchy (same as UK)... not socialist
3. China is not leaning to socialism.. It's a communist state but integrating capitalism into its communist state
4. Turkey is Republican Parliamentary Democracy... and yes it's undergoing thru volatile political change to become a secular nation
more and more nations are integrating the concept of capitalism (or free market) but it does not affect their government structure. I think you're confusing government structure with system of economy.
It's more accurate to say - European countries in general are MUCH MUCH more liberal than USA.
Please educate yourself on socialism. It is NOT something like welfare state, universal health care, etc. NO!
For Russia, you means during USSR time? I don't see because you don't use "was" on Russia about being communist country, USSR were collapsed in 1991 and Russia become semi-presidential republic, it means similar freedom as USA does and offers capitalism as well, I believe that Russia still have some side for socialism, such as universal health care.
China is socialist republic with capitalism support, according on wikipedia.
oh.... wikipedia... c'mon... wikipedia vs. CIA Factbook....
yes USSR collapsed.... which means it lost its satellite countries but it does not lose its government structure. It's still a communist. so is China. I think it's disappointing that people do not fully understand what "socialism" means. oh well.....
CIA said Russia is federation in government type and it doesn't statement about communist.
I think America should have a monarchy, and I should be the queen. No, no, not drag queen... the Queen of United States.
Bow and pay yer homage, ya plebians!
can I be your king?
No, peasant, but you may join my all-American royal harem.
What? As a queen, I work very hard at looking good and ordering everyone around that is well below my station. All work and no play makes Her Highness a dull queen.
