The "evil" that is Socialism

Nearly no country on this planet doesn't ascribe to at least some facets of Socialism, for starters. And "evil"? From all over Europe to the Scandinavian countries, at least, the system, in varying degrees, works quite well, thanks very much but so few people in the US know that or even agree on that. The Scandinavian countries, in particular, are some of the best-functioning countries on the planet right now, have been for some time and rate some of the most either "happy" or "satisfied" populations on the planet, as well. But most Americans don't like that fact, if they even concur with it, in spite of the solid evidence otherwise. I'm only saying it's not an evil. It's not evil at all.
