    And social democracy, like all types of socialism, is a failure. It's proven to be woefully inequipped to deal with the pressures of globalization and immigration. Jobs and wages are stagnant and living conditions are declining. The welfare state has become so unaffordable that social democracies have to implement austerity, angering populations that are accustomed to getting fat and happy off of government handouts. Social democracy has gone from being the government of choice in 13 out of 15 EU countries to losing election after election.
    unregulated, cut-throat, the 99% of American rentier capitalism are unequipped to deal with globalization, as they have lost 1/3 of household weatlh, and had stagnant real incomes since St Ronnie starting ing up America

    unregulated, cut-throat, American rentier capitalism is unequipped to deal with immigration because the capitalists purchased exctreme right politicians to block all solutions.

    unregulated, cut-throat, American rentier capitalism suffers from high unemployment, high underemployment, stagnant wages and income, 40M+ people on public assistance, soaring rents as house prices are unreachable, as capitalists and VRWC have reserved all economic gains to themselves for 40 years.

    unregulated, cut-throat, American rentier capitalism implements austerity measures since cutting taxes on BigCorp and the wealthy increases deficits, and decreases spending on infrastructure. Austerity includes US govt at all levels including killing many 100Ks of public sector jobs

    unregulated, cut-throat, American rentier capitalism creates a "fat and happy" BigCorp and wealthy class via wealth distribution upward and living of tax cuts, tax avoidance, tax evasion.

    Ask Canadians, Japanese, west Europeans if they would trade their "socialistic" health care system for unregulated, cut-throat, American rentier capitalism's health care scam that costs 2x as much and gets much worse outcomes.

    The welfare state hasn't become unaffordable. If capitalist exploiters and big 'individualist' corporations paid their taxes to the government, welfare funding would be far easier. If these same corporations actually s ed out the money to pay their employees a living wage, a welfare state wouldn't be necessary, but the corrupt billionaires at the top don't want to give up their 'hard earned dollars' to keep their own workers alive now do they?

    So I'm not allowed to question the horrendous hogging of money by those who posses all of it at the top? I should just fall in line like any conservative and accept massive inequality because happens? Ok.

    It has nearly bankrupted some countries (i.e. Sweden) and actually did bankrupt Greece.

    The rich are more heavily taxed in Western Europe than anywhere else in the world:

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014...77710593726674

    , the wealthy in Europe are even begging to be taxed more like a bunch of sissy cucks:

    The problem is that no tax rate will ever be enough. The socialist state is a leviathan with an unquenchable hunger for other people's money.

    Ok.

    And that last statement of yours was written in a true Fox News slurping manner. Heck, I even read it in Glenn Beck's voice.

    Ok.
    It is time to admit a basic truth: Greece is insolvent. Its national debt is falling, albeit very slightly, but its economy is shrinking even faster. We knew all of this even before it missed its payment to the International Monetary Fund on Friday: the country is stuck in a vicious circle from which the only escape must be a combination of default and withdrawal from the single currency... This year, the national debt is expected to drop by another €4bn to €322bn, though whether this decline actually materialises remains to be seen - but Greece’s nominal GDP will fall by €5bn to €174bn. The result is that Greece’s national debt will reach 185pc of GDP in 2015, up from 182pc last year and 180pc of GDP in 2013. Other measures and forecasts will give slightly different numbers, but the point is that the debt burden is falling less quickly than GDP in cash terms, which is a catastrophe and means that the country is effectively bust.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/e...ic-prison.html

    In a society that has lived off the generosity of the government for decades, the cash crisis has already had a shattering impact. Universities, hospitals and municipalities are struggling to provide basic services, and the country’s underfunded security apparatus is losing its battle against an influx of illegal immigrants... "There are no free rides in this country anymore," said Kostas Bakoyannis, 37, the governor of the Central Greece administrative region. "The old parties — they never spoke truth to the people. Now we have to live on what we can make and produce."

    Nice list of failing social democracies. Do you have any examples of successful ones?

    Define 'failed', I assume that it's based solely on your own interpretation right? I'm not sure how Germany is failing, nor Switzerland. The UK's most successful domestic period was under a social democratic government also. Can you list a staunchly conservative country that runs without massive reliance on wealth inequality, austerity or capitalism?
