I'm not sure what you mean? I'm listing examples of socialism working. I'm not able to move to Norway, or Iceland for example which is also successful due to socialism.
The best countries to live on the planet are socialist and there are statistics to back that up.
You're wrong about me just believing what others say. I'm economically left but socially right, it's a pretty uncommon political opinion to have but I'm not going to elaborate because a mod will get butthurt and ban me for my opinions.
The problem with your whole premise is that Finland is not socialist, nor is Iceland and Norway. In fact on the Index of economic freedom all three of those countries have a higher rating than the US does. If you want to look at actual socialist countries they are much lower on the economic freedom index.
