In regards to certain areas, Europe is more socialist than the US. Some European nations, however, are actually more capitalistic in certain areas. All developed nations are mixed economies.
In regards to Manus' socialist manifesto, I am not opposed to his goals. I am, however, opposed to the means with which he would achieve them. If you want a school system that works, you replace our current producer-subsidized system with a consumer-subsidized system. If you desire to restore the economy, you do not follow the failed policies of Hoover and FDR-yes, that includes infrastructure spending to boost the economy.
