[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel is a socialist country. [/quote] It is actually a parliamentary democracy operating on a free-market model after some early experimentation with socialist economic policies which failed dramatically in the 1970s. It now has a highly developed economy with a strong private sector, features not present in socialist states. Having some social welfare programs and some people living in kibbutzim does not make a country "socialist"; the defining characteristic is whether the means of production are owned only by the state. Socialism believes the government makes better decisions for people than people can make for themselves, the fundamental approach taken by Communist nations behind the Iron Curtain which all had extremely feeble economies - inefficient, unmotivated to innovate, and incapable of actually providing what people want.
