> Oil-rich Norway
Who owns the oil Nick?
> Sweden has more billionaires per capita than the USA - quite far from the egalitarian society socialists dream about.
Sweden is regarded as one of the most egalitarian societies in the world.
> China enjoyed unprecedented growth when they decided to allow capitalism and free markets
Did the government retain significant control of the economy during that time?
> Other A/B tests abound: Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, etc.
All countries which have been the victim of horrific sanctions and interference by the US, lest they prove that socialism can actually work.
> Caring about nature is a luxury only rich people can afford. And only under capitalism people are allowed to create value and enrich themselves.
Lol, some people really just buy anything.. This is tiresome. Believe what you like.

I learned on my own skin which one I'd "buy". I am willing to bet you've never lived in any of those socialist paradises you admire. Give it a try please and then come back and give us economy lessons.
