It's of course far more broad: every liberalized, affluent country on the planet has intentionally adopted market based economic systems. Absolutely none of them are Socialist, Fascist, or Communist, and there are no exceptions. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland (to name some of the most popular targets) - none of them are remotely close to being Socialist, and those are the only super nice countries the pro-statist crowd can ever pick from (when declaring that Socialism works). They all rely heavily on market based economic systems, they are all massively loaded with private wealth (typically the most millionaires per capita of anywhere), and the extreme majority of their economies are privately owned and private operated. They are in fact solid demonstrations that market based economies are vastly superior to statist economies.
