    The US moved towards socialism with the federal government instituting social (emphasis on social) programs, so does that mean the US is a failed capitalist state?

      No, it takes much more than that to be a failed state. Their shift away from a command economy to a hybrid system is a lot more notable than our rather pathetic public services sector though.
