[quote=pri_dk][quote=captcha]Did you guys define what ‘socialist country’ is? [/quote]
Do we really have to do that? Seriously?
The only credible and accepted definition of ‘socialist country’ is one where the majority of economic activity is controlled by the state. Specifically:
– Most industry is owned by the state
– Private property ownership is nonexistent or an uncommon exception
– Most of the workforce is employed by state-owned organizations

I don’t know, different people assume different things when they talk about socialism and socialist state. Isn’t there a self-declared socialist in the US Senate? What you you describing sounds like Leninist ‘Socialist State’ or Nazi Germany.
I wanted to propose Portugal and India for relatively successful and innovative socialist countries, but neither fits your definition of socialist country. Though some innovation did happen in both Nazi Germany and USSR and satellites.
