Totally agree. EU and Europe is going insane with crazy ass laws to punish american companies and regulate everything to death, while they allow their states get away with becoming totalitarian. #unreal

Yeah, my viewpoint hasn't changed, only how you've finally understood it. Anyways, peace, be well!

Yeah, exactly. You're not so lost after all ;)

You seem to be very lost, @locallost. Great name. Certain services are obviously best done from a collective, society standpoint. You wouldn't be able to protect your property from certain wild fires, like what happened California. Nor protect yourself from an invasion from another country. Nor break up a criminal gangster mob that attacks the people.

Yes, you are right, except at some point countries will start to fail as well. That hasn't happened yet, but it will start to soon (my prediction).

Great comment, by the way. What country are you from?

Central Europe is far more socialist. They're legitimately becoming communist.

For example, in Germany, the socialist/left/green pretty dominate and control almost all power here. Democracy is one of the few last standing barricades to germany becoming a full-blown communist state.

Yet, even democracy is starting to fade here.

Besides Germany, most of europe is well grounded in democracy. Therefore, I wouldn't call most of european countries communist states.

However, once socialism reaches a certain point, societies start to fail, and economies start to stagnate or even go backwards. We are starting to witness this here in European. Stagnating or retreading economies. Germany's economy hasn't grown in years.
