Since capitalism is the best way to create wealth, humanity should stick with it.
Wealth, but also inequality. Socialism (and I mean Europe socialism, not Soviet Union communism) is also able to create wealth, and also distribute it better among people.

Do you have any example of a country with socialism that successfully made it?

Nordic countries are currently blowing the US out of the water on every measurable metric so you might want to rethink that argument.

Nordic countries are not socialist.

Sounds like your definition of “socialism” is (like Cato’s) “a state that is easy to criticise”. ACS did are some of the most socialist governments. They are clever about it for sure but that is why they are so inconvenient. Hell look as Norway socialising profits a from oil exploration to lift an entire nation out of poverty.

You what, mate? They’re among the most socialist nations in the world, more so than Argentina or China

French economy is not a good example, as far as I know it’s stagnated.

Most of Western Europe have social programs (free education, free healthcare, etc.) and made it. The G7 counts France, Germany and Italy

Having social welfare doesn’t make a country socialist.
