Wasn't Venezuela socialized too?

Switzerland sounds awesome; make tons more money there and work fewer hours...why isn't that the norm everywhere if it's so great and works out so well?

Their population is 8 million vs 318 million here in the U.S......

Venezuela has nothing to do with what we do in Europe. I am kind of tired of this kind of ignorance. Please educate yourself about the differences. And Europe is a lot of different countries with different systems. Switzerland is among the most capitalistic in Europe. Definitely not socialist as you imagine.

You imagine anything that doesn't sound brutal and exploitative must be a socialist dream?

Sure but most of the EU have the benefits this article talks about. Not the high salary, but all the rest.
