That is all preserved in modern Democratic-Socialism. There are still winners and losers in the economy. Not to mention you can always take your world-class education to some other western economy as a Swedish guy for example.

Nevertheless, it turns out the bottom doesn't have to be a mentally ill guy walking around mumbling to himself with a blanket over his head (I've been thinking of this guy A lot lately). The bottom can be a modest living even the person isn't do shit to improve themselves -- it still works on a macro level.

In fact, because our economy is so competition-based and non-coordinated, when tend to spend more money for worse services. Education, healthcare, and welfare are all more expensive in America and less effective. We provide welfare in a way that actually prevents lifting people out of poverty. Not to mention job training must be bought by the prospective employee, which is a huge dampener on skill development compared to countries like Germany.

lmao looking forward to us being on our deathbeds like "damn we were born in the wrong country we got gypped on what a post-modern society is supposed to actually look like" ala the future of Scandinavia and Germany.

The argument commonly given is the population of the United States is too large for socialism. Hillary hit on that during the campaign trail. Its widely believed to be true by most Americans.
