I would like to make something 100% clear, that Kate refers to Switzerland as a "socialist country" - it's not socialist; it is a capitalist country, it does not have a centralised or planned economy, and neither does the state or the workers control the means of production.  It is a capitalist country that taxes its population highly in order to pay for public services and welfare - that's social democracy, not socialism.  Please do not confuse the two as they are <b>very</b> different.
