The Virginia Company of London invested in Jamestown. The Pilgrims were financed by a different set of investors, the Virginia Company of Plymouth.

It just takes longer to notice its failure the more successful the society it is tried on. If the society has great wealth and good infrasture, it will take decades before you “start running out of other peoples money” and the infrastructure starts to decay.

Spain is socialist. So is Italy. So is Ireland. So are the Catholic bosses. It’s a European thing.
