Denmark is in the midst of a massive housing bubble (Copenhagen housing prices have increased 50% over the past 3 years due to NIRP). Germany is about to take on 1 million Syrian immigrants. I'm sure that will work out well for them.

Yea bout you are just comparing countries that have corrupt governments. If you look at nations that have good governments the socialist movements there flourish, the economy booms and the people are happy.
its like looking at a homeless person, who also happens to disagree with you, and then saying that he's homeless because he disagree's with you.
As far as Denmark, the results of that bubble will yet to be seen. If you think that Denmark is unique form all problems because its got the 3rd happiest people on earth (
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/...ntries-of-2015) you're making a slight exaggeration. Denmark isn't perfect, but its a perfect example of what socialism can do for the overall society.
As far as Germany, whether they were socialists capitalists or pretty much anything but fascists, the influx of immigrants from the crisis in Syria would still happen. So again, you cant use that as an example about why socialism is bad
In fact, you haven't shared one example of socialism being the central cause of any one problem (and Im not talking about communism). However you have shared many reasons why a free market driven political system has been the central cause of problems here in the USA.
So its pretty clear that one of these systems is a disaster, while the other one isn't.
Hell we've given 30+ years to republicans, Id say its time that we admit that conservative policies just don't make a country better off than progressive ones. There is just too much ideology in conservative policies.
