Yep. The largest party in Sweden are the Sweden Democrats, i.e. xenophobes. Europeans don't have children or family structures. 40% of Danes live alone, and oh, by the way, a German mayor was stabbed in the neck by a right winger due to anti-immigrant rage.
Cultural relativism, which is necessary for facilitating state socialism in a multicultural society, has worked exactly no where. It will NEVER work in a society that isn't homogeneous. Europe has two choices. Remain socialist and care for its people, OR tolerate immigrants. You can't have both, and it's clear from Paris to Brussels to Stockholm to Birmingham.
I don't know where the rose colored glasses come from, but you guys are blind. Should banks and lobbyists control the government? No. Should we have free trade which drives wages down and job overseas? No. But the idea that legitimate reform in America should follow the socialist model of Europe, which has as one of its pillars MASSIVE immigration from the worst / most ass backwards places on earth, is simply delusional. Fascism is rising in Europe as a result of stupid ass cultural relativist policies. I really hope we're not that stupid in America.
PS: disconnect liberal economic policy from all of the social justice white guilt idiots and you might have something worth consideration

I agree with you 100%, and multiculturalism / cultural relativism is my single biggest gripe with Bernie, American democrats, and with the way Europeans do things. It's the tragic flaw that's really on track to destroy the amazing things Europe has built. When I cite Europe as an example of social-democratic policy working, it's in reference to their economic success, general equality, wealth, low poverty, low corruption, happiness, education, and health. Of course they have flaws, multiculturalism is one of them. No system is perfect. But issues like this aren't black and white, and all things considered, I still think Bernie offers the best package. Trump and Clinton aren't going to do any better in this area, as they serve corporate interests which favor immigration in order to depress wages and drive GDP growth. I've said this before and I'll say it again, if Trump were serious about stopping immigration, he'd target employers. Wall rhetoric is just his way of drumming up support.
