  1. +Jaime... you're the first person I've seen to recognize that these European counties are capitalist with a few socialistic characteristics. look at the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden; they ALL have an aristocratic, hierarchical social structure. socialism and an elite cannot co-exist. one thing these countries prove is that the American elite can virtually end poverty in this country RIGHT NOW and STILL be mega-wealthy but they just REFUSE to do it. why? they're cruel, psychopathic and greedy as all hell! THEY MUST BE REMOVED FROM POWER because they won't relinquish their absolute domination of America otherwise.

  2. +jackanapes... excellent thought but i'm afraid it doesn't work that. capitalism is not an economic tool but an elitist tool. social stratification, corruption and elitist oppression is how capitalism is designed to work. the incentive of capitalism is to place wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands. that's not an unintended byproduct but its true nature and goals.

  3. +I agree with you but the problem is even the left misdefine socialism and place WAY to much emphasis on marx, engels and lenin. there's 1000's of other socialist who's ideas are just as valid and probably more workable and contemporary. I think marx was a fine man, misunderstood and too idolatrized by one side and too demonized by the other side.
