I think it is not good to always focus on the Scandinavian countries, which is more democratic socialist Greece or Sweden, Italy or Finland, by how much?
Was South Korea a capitalist dictatorship even as North Korea was a socialist dictatorship until fairly recently?
Which country is less Democratic socialist China or Venezuela?

Wasn't Hugo Chavez elected in Venezuela meaning a Democratic Socialist?
Also I think the Scandinavian people could be better off with lower taxes and less of what their Governments provide as would be Greece, Italy and France. For example, I think that they more that the optimal amount of healthcare. I think Singapore is closer to optimal that they are on healthcare. They probably waste a lot of money on schooling also, and retirement pensions.
I found a list of countries by Government spending as a percent of GDP.
