Yes and no. Though Germany has a capitalist economy it holds many socialist ideals on things such as healthcare. They are currently a Federal Republic I believe and use Representative Democracy comparable to that of the English Constitutional Monarchy. European countries have Socialist political parties but are very moderate compared to the socialism protrayed by Stalon and the red boys. A good example of socialism exsisting in a capitialist country is Canada and it's healthcare system which under Obama America has begun to nearly match. I except to see a socialist party to form in America as well due to these changes and the support of many college kids around the States. But remember that socialist healthcare and socialist economy are two completely different things. Socialism as a whole has it's good and bad just like any other system, a bad is typically it's economic system a plus would be the government paying for a taking care of things like healthcare and schooling (that's right they will pay you through college for as long as you choose to be in school) but with that comes high taxes which people typically frown upon. It's important to keep an open-mind when thinking about socialist ideals despite what Fox News and professional cry baby/Propaganda expert Bill O'Rilley tell you, some are good and work better than the current state of things. Hope that helped answer your question. I tend to go a liltle overboard but it's important to know the difference.
