There's a difference between socialism and a capitalist country with socialist safe-guards like un-employment insurance, welfare, disability insurance and social-security which have proven to be needed and effective.

However pure socialism slows economic develpoment in any country which history has proven.

You dont know what your're talking about.  If you don't know what socialism is, the definition is actually government control over businesses.  Well, we just took over the banks a couple of weeks ago when they began failing, so apparently we are already a semi-socialist country, we just like to pretend that we aren't.
