If America has a socialist economy, Central Europe must be full-scale marxist-communist in your eyes.

Central Europe is far more socialist. They're legitimately becoming communist.

For example, in Germany, the socialist/left/green pretty dominate and control almost all power here. Democracy is one of the few last standing barricades to germany becoming a full-blown communist state.

Yet, even democracy is starting to fade here.

Besides Germany, most of europe is well grounded in democracy. Therefore, I wouldn't call most of european countries communist states.

However, once socialism reaches a certain point, societies start to fail, and economies start to stagnate or even go backwards. We are starting to witness this here in European. Stagnating or retreading economies. Germany's economy hasn't grown in years.
