Then the best examples of entrepreneurial hot beds would be the ex-Soviet Union and Cuba. The objective data really doesnt back your assertions.

Nor does the example of the Nordic countries help your thesis much.

Why?

Liberals have total dominance in a few states... certainly a few localities... Why don't they put their money where their mouths are (as opposed to imposing it on a nation where at least half the country doesn't support them) and see what happens?

In California, San Pelosi and LA$$backwards, we're able to see the "positive results" of a liberal paradise. Remember, this state elected Reagan back in the day. Long ways from there now. But, Fountains, let me ask you why liberalism doesn't seem to work in Cali? Sure are a lot of US citizens moving out, though I understand the net population in Cali continues to grow from ready "replacements." Wall much?
