In the USA everyone over age 65 is covered by universal health care and the Government funds their insurance called Medicare. Maybe one day in the future as US population rises and density increases maybe in 50-100 years they could extend to all the population, I can see that happen, but today it is only for people over 65. However the medical facilities will always be private. The real issue is that in the USA it is like 50 countries in one and each state has a different economy for example an emergency room visit in California is worth $3000 but in Maine it is $900 so if you unify in to 1 system you have a mess to deal with and balance the costs so it just would not work, you end up creating 50 NHS systems in 1 country. Now that would be a disaster imagine 50 NHS systems? No that's not going to work. Also keep in mind that unlike other large countries like Russia, Australia, Canada, Brazil in the USA people can live almost anywhere, you have some 100,000 towns and cities there is no way a top down Government can manage such a large system so it would lead to 50 independent systems which is really incredible overhead costs so not going to work. I have a friend who lives in the city of 1,000 people called Tonasket WA have a look on the map, you can barely find it and yet they have a nice local hospital funded by the community and local population who use the medical services if the system was managed by the Government they would not have any care and would need to travel to a larger city.

What you describe is just arbitrary explanations for natural formation of humanity. People choose to live their life out of free will (if they are permitted to) and this is the natural and wild choices we all make. You can try and explain it any way you like but it is arbitrary. At the end of the day the power of the state needs to be shared in a fair way so that the people can always at the very least hold the leaders accountable to their actions. Can the people of Russia hold Putin accountable for his actions? No. Could the people of the Soviet Union hold Stalin accountable for his actions? No. So you see the problem here? Once a group of people take power over the state, call it Socialism, Communisim, Fascism, the name means nothing it is arbitrary, they will never relinquish power without spilling blood. If you give people power without accountability they will never let it go. The problem is that Socialist programs like health care, free education, funds for illness, old age, these are all very attractive and even noble ideas to better life and society, free money, however every piece of social program makes the people more and more dependent on the state, thus increasing the power held by the state and open the door to future tyrants and groups of interest to take power away from the people. Getting freedom is costly losing it is free.

You are wrong, so very wrong! Worldly Jew means Orthodox Jew, as in the Jews mostly living in Poland and Eastern Europe who dedicated their lives to the religion, they don't care about money because their world does not involve money. Marx was excluding them by using the phrase "Worldly Jew" today most of the Orthodox Jews in Israel do not go to work so when Marx says he is not talking about Wordily Jews he means that he is not talking about what today are Orthodox Jews. Simple. The Jews of London where Marx was living, the businessmen Jews, the wealthy and successful Jews in banking, lawyers, store owners, business owners, the "EVERY DAY" or Secular Jew that is what Marx is talking about, 70% of Jews in Europe were secular Jews. Marx lead to the death of millions of Jews in the hands of Adolf Hitler. Your denying of the great evil in the words of Karl Marx is following a long linage of people who are in denial about Karl Marx and his own hand in the holocaust. This denial has to end.

@sethtwc That was only due to Hitler being in competition with communist, Marxist and Socialist elements in Germany. Hitler was not the only show in town, he did not even have the largest crowds, not at first, it was a progression. Hitler himself said that he is a Socialist and that his world view for the Aryan German people was a Socialist utopia where the Aryan German people did not have to work hard, had a fare share of society, Hitler simply did not get the chance to see his Socialist plans come to reality. If Hitler had won WW2 he would have progressed onwards to his Socialist utopia >
Historian Modris Eksteins argued:
Contrary to many interpretations of Nazism, which tend to view it as a reactionary movement, as, in the words of Thomas Mann, an "explosion of antiquarianism", intent on turning Germany into a pastoral folk community of thatched cottages and happy peasants, the general thrust of the movement, despite archaisms, was futuristic. Nazism was a headlong plunge into the future, towards a "brave new world." Of course it used to advantage residual conservative and utopian longings, paid respect to these romantic visions, and picked its ideological trappings from the German past. but its goals were, by its own lights, distinctly progressive. It was not a double-faced Janus whose aspects were equally attentive to the past and the future, nor was it a modern Proteus, the god of metamorphosis, who duplicates pre-existing forms. The intention of the movement was to create a new type of human being from whom would spring a new morality, a new social system, and eventually a new international order. That was, in fact, the intention of all the fascist movements. After a visit to Italy and a meeting with Mussolini, Oswald Mosley wrote that fascism "has produced not only a new system of government, but also a new type of man, who differs from politicians of the old world as men from another planet." Hitler talked in these terms endlessly. National Socialism was more than a political movement, he said; it was more than a faith; it was a desire to create mankind anew.[330]

Well the Human idea of G*d is to keep mankind in check, it's not about G*d but about Humans to give them a social and ideological structure to be good people, to be part of a community, to work together, as someone is always watching, someone is above them that they cannot control over. This is a perfectly sensible use of mental gymnastics for the better good of a community and people and mankind which is why I have no issues with the Christianity and Juudaism but when you get in to the realm of cultists that create evil like Hitler and Stalin and Mao we have a problem, the philosophical cultists remove the self control, they remove G*d and so anything becomes fair game, murder of million for no reason, war, famine, devastation is meaningless to them just like how Germans saw the Nazi logo as an expression to do evil doings so do Russian's today with the "Z" logo as a mental approval to do bad things. It is only by sheer audacity of Ukrainian people who are fighting back and hard that Russian army and just random Russian people are not reping, stealing and killing the Ukrainian people out of existence as that is their desire and the "Z" logo is their stamp of approval.

The drive for technology and innovation due to WW2 and the Cold War were really tremendous, it is hard to know how different the world would have been today, perhaps many decades behind where we are now, let alone Satellite technology, nuclear energy, medical research and treatment, development of aircraft, engines, cars and even operational things like road networks, logistics, shipping, global trade and so on.
