Actually there was/is. Just like postWWII the American democratic-socialist government of the time was the template for Europe. However, by the time of the Soviet collapse, there was new corrupt model running around in libertarian clothes claiming “unregulated” capitalism was the new world order.

That is the new American model, but everyone now sees it for what it is: ruthless, avaricious greed fueled by corruption
