A list of countries where the US is footing the bill for their defense?
yeah, that's working out great in France:

...these 'socialist systems' are living of free market profits. (and even these are crony capitalism).

Socialism cannot endure standing on it's own two feet.

read about the 'Great Grain Robbery', where the US loaned money to the soviet union so that it could buy wheat from us. For some reason when the Socialists took over there were about sixteen unseasonable bad crops in a row....people starved.

the US also built factories for the soviets.

in fact...if it hadn't been for the US supporting the Soviets the USSR would have collapsed much sooner.

Almost like the deepstate (military industrial complex) NEEDED an enemy...so they supported the Soviets.

yup - it started in setting up the soviets in ww2 to win..with the massive supplies to keep the Russian war machine moving...

Gotta have an enemy to justify the money flow...

Socialist governments typically fail within a 100 year cycle, so they may be ok today, but give it a few decades. (that includes the ones currently adopting socialist programs)

Is Germany Successful Thanks to Socialism?

  • Not due to socialism, but thanks to Ludwig Erhard’s radical pro-market reforms, the modest monetary policy by the Bundesbank over decades, the internal devaluation of the 1990s, and the reforms of Gerhard Schröder and the Social Democrats in 2004, Germany is successful today.

How Socialism Works In France

  • France's overall economy is struggling in recent years, as well. The unemployment rate is over 10 percent, and youth unemployment has been hovering at around 25 percent. In addition, left-leaning immigration laws have led to a huge influx of migrants, triggering anti-immigration protests.
