How about Venezuela?No, it doesn't:Democratic socialism means every decision in society is subject to majority rule.
Democratic socialism - Wikipedia.
"Democratic socialism can be characterised as follows:
"Publicly held property is limited to productive property and significant infrastructure; it does not extend to personal property, homes, and small businesses. And in practice in many democratic socialist countries, it has not extended to many large corporations."
- "Much property held by the public through a democratically elected government, including most major industries, utilities, and transportation systems
- A limit on the accumulation of private property
- Governmental regulation of the economy
- Extensive publicly financed assistance and pension programs
- Social costs and the provision of services added to purely financial considerations as the measure of efficiency
Hmmmm, no, that isn't true. Who invented the Iphone?Workers are the source of all new value within society.Workers get paid! It seems you don't know about that part.

That's called "crony capitalism," socialism, in other words.It's more of the same brand of capitalism where private contractors pocket the profits and taxpayers shoulder the costs.So-called "public-private" partnerships are generally indistinguishable from pure government projects. I'm not sure what the distinction is.
Austerity doesn't seem to be working too well.Certainly maxing out the deficit/debt isn't the right track.
Market failure - Wikipedia).That doesn't really make any sense. Try again.
Even if Trump loses and leaves office, he still has more than two months to exact his revenge:Whether it's in four months or four years, Trump is leaving behind an absolute mess. And yet, he could very well still win. The Democrats are taking advantage of the ugliness, ignorance and arrogance of the Trump administration by running a historically weak candidate.
Roads are "non-excludable" because that's the way the government designs them. They can easily be made excludable by imposing tolls. Government designs and builds roads, but you claim it's not responsible for congestion.Market failure - Wikipedia).That doesn't really make any sense. Try again.
"Traffic congestion is an example of market failure that incorporates both non-excludability and externality.
"Public roads are common resources that are available for the entire population's use (non-excludable), and act as a complement to cars (the more roads there are, the more useful cars become).
"Because there is very low cost but high benefit to individual drivers in using the roads, the roads become congested, decreasing their usefulness to society.
"Furthermore, driving can impose hidden costs on society through pollution (externality). Solutions for this include public transportation, congestion pricing, tolls, and other ways of making the driver include the social cost in the decision to drive."
