Quick questions: Do you think that the Democratic Socialism of Europe would have been possible if the European countries had to bear the cost of national defense themselves? How much of their own GDP would have to be diverted from the social sector if they had to provide for their own defense instead of riding on the backs of the United States since 1945? If we move to a European sort of Democratic Socialism, where would the money come from, national defense cuts? Who would then defend us? Taxing the wealthiest among us? There aren't enough to pay for it all. Nationalize industry and confiscate the profits for the state?
