99% of the times you hear/read this it comes from someone who's not only not from here, but hasn't even been here, most of the times isn't even European. I mainly see US libtards use this bullshit talking point, everything is free in Europe we pay 0 taxes for it.
It's mostly Anglosphere people who do that: Americans, Australians, Canadians, &c. Notice, for instance, the Sanders campaign in 2016: 'socialism' is great because America will be like Denmark or Sweden (notice, not more like East Germany or some other basketcase: it would more harm than help the wannabee socialists of the world to uphold such states as examples).
That always struck me as simply misattributing the successes of high-IQ, homogeneous peoples to ideology.
If 'socialism' ever comes to America, it will be close to the dysfunctional Cuban, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan varieties, except without the social conservatism still defended by many of the Chavistas and Sandinistas. A Nicaragua writ large, but with far more homosexuals and transsexuals? People will be fleeing from rather than to that socialist America: Mexico will suddenly be wishing that America built that damn wall.
That is pretty retarded, but no one I talk to here wants the US system either. Most are fairly happy with the system as it is, although obviously they don't think it's perfect. Insofar as there is criticism, they think the problems are caused by not enough government subsidies.
As for me, I have no idea. This is too complicated for me. And it seems to me that close to everyone who comments on this issue is horrendously ill-informed.
