Actually, the Swedes have abandoned it. Sorry, it's a difficult essay topic because the pro arguments aren't very good. But you could point out that Sweden was pretty prosperous when it did have democratic socialism.

Gini coefficient is very low (weath is distributed properly). Human Development Index is high (Well developed country). Average income around $45K annually, since gini is low its a good approximation to everyone in the country. While the socialist party is no longer in power, their government is socialist as rules can't just be undone. Decades of socialism will result in a long period of time before anything chages. Taxation is about 50% of income. So if you make $1000 after taxes you only get half. 13.4% are immigrants, signaling a healthy and prosperous economy. School is free including university, this helps in equalizing opportunities. Sweden has long been at the forefront of research and development, even though its only a few million people. Sweden ranked either as the first or second country publishing the highest number of scientific publications in the fields of medical science, natural science and engineering in 2001. Healthcare is free. Life expectancy is high. When you consider the size of Sweden vs its accomplishments and position at the world wide scale, it is clear that socialism has made this possible as it allowed a capitalist system to be in place, but the wealth distribution to be more equalized, and gives everyone an opportunity at university and higher education.
