I guess that's true if you think most people are naturally bad and useless. I find it hard to believe that European-style safety nets and college opportunities are impossible without mass murder.
@Dexter European countries were able to establish socialist style systems because each country at that time was like a tiny little planet populated almost entirely by people with the same genetic background,religious background,and historical background. For lack of a better description,call them all "large extended families". Due to lack of births due to the taxation and lack of living space the typical Euro-weenie has,their populations were decreasing. Socialism does NOT allow for decreasing populations because each new generation MUST pay all the living expenses of the previous generation. So they started importing foreigners from 3rd world nations who don't mind living with 18 people in a 3 room apartment with one bathroom to do the grunt work. This works for ONE generation,and then the next generation resents having to live like they live when the non-3rd world citizen of that nation lives a more comfortable life.
The ultimate result IS going to be violent revolution because there just isn't enough money floating around to provide a middle-class lifestyle for everyone,so the 3rd world people are going to start doing what 3rd world people do when they outnumber you,they are going to kill you,eat you,and take everything you own.
Socialism is a Ponzi scheme that only works as long as the drones are kept fat and happy. When it collapses,and it WILL collapse everywhere it is tried,the result is going to be chaos and anarchy.
American,on the other hand has always been a nation of mixed peoples with different beliefs and different ways of living,so a government was created to handle the basics of nation craft,and to allow the people to live their lives the best way they saw fit,for the most part. And for the most part it worked,primarily because our ranks swelled due to an influx of civilized people from Europe who wanted to live and let live,and be in control of their own lives.
Then the 3rd world started moving in and the natives started getting restless in the 60's. Dim politicians saw them as footsoldiers whose greed and jealousy could be exploited,so they have been pushing them and for more of them to come to America in order to destroy it so the leftist elites can then crack down and establish their personal police state.
