Great Britain is socialist, as are most European countries...there goes your theory.

Britain is a welfare state that is going in the direction of socialism. Since there are still privately-owned industries, it is not socialist, per Marx's definition of socialism

Marx defined communism, not socialism.

England's primary industries are socialized.

Healthcare, transportation, energy.

I find very few better examples of socialism around.
