> Less successful than the Nordic model but still much better than Soviet Russia, was Tito's Yugoslavia.
It was a brutal dictatorship, and while indeed better than Soviet Russia (which was not that hard given that Soviet leadership mostly was a bunch of incompetent drunkards), it didn't even come close in success to Germany, much less the Nordic states.
> And maybe it's not even feasible to get there
There is a feasible way - cooperatives ("Genossenschaft" in German). Almost everything can be organized that way, with the notable exception of public infrastructure like trains, roads and electricity/phone/gas/water grids. These best belong in government hands.
I didn't mean to claim Tito was a great guy, but from what little I know, his approach to economy was more effective than that of Lenin/Stalin (not to mention Mao).
Coops of some form in a democratic system would of course be vastly preferable.
