After reading in econemic systems and how have they been applied, I started relaising how impossible it’s to have a good true socialist country.

Crazy Americans and their socialism paranoia. If any of you have lived, over a year and not a US military base, in a 1st World EU country, you will realize how a proper healthcare system, education, labor laws, infrastructure, transportation, income distribution, gun laws, government, etc…should work. All of these entities are public services that prevent people from becoming insane and reducing the life is cheap attitude. The USA is no longer number 1, with exception to the defense budget, but well-managed public services and labor laws similar to Finland, would improve life in the USA.
List of socialist states
Can you show me where is Finland in this page?
Also, I am not American.
I think you’re conflating pure socialism with capitalism mixed with social support systems.
Funny you mention military bases since they’re one of the few places associated with the US that have most of those things or at least attempt to.
Also let me interdouce you to Switzerland, from Wikipedia:
" The economy of Switzerland is one of the world’s most advanced and a highly-developed free market economy. The economy of Switzerland has ranked first in the world since 2015 on the Global Innovation Index and third in the 2020 Global Competitiveness Report. According to United Nations data for 2016, Switzerland is the third richest landlocked country in the world after Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Together with the latter and Norway, they are the only three countries in the world with a GDP per capita (nominal) above US$90,000 that are neither island nations nor ministates."
So capitalisim work.
At the cost of whom, though? Milllions of brown people slaving away in the global south and the destruction of the planet. If that “works” for you, cool.
You are wrong
Switzerland is a fucking mirage. That country exists how it does purely because immense amounts of money is pumped into the country by billionaires. If you try to buy wurst in Zurich it’ll cost you somewhere around 13 francs.
Switzerland is a dumb and unrepeatable example.
Taiwan, From Wikipedia:
The economy of Taiwan is a highly developed free-market economy. It is the 8th largest in Asia and 20th-largest in the world by purchasing power parity, allowing Taiwan to be included in the advanced economies group by the International Monetary Fund. Taiwan is notable for its rapid economic development from an agriculture-based society to an industrialised, high-income country. This economic growth has been described as the Taiwan Miracle. It is gauged in the high-income economies group by the World Bank. Taiwan is one of the most technologically advanced computer microchip and high-tech electronics industries makers in the world.
Switzerland is one of the examples why anarchy works. It it is one of the very few countries in the world with direct democracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Switzerland
