Always entirely of their own choosing. They keep doggedly oscillating between fascism and socialism and, when their governments run out of money to print and debt to issue, they start a war.
and if they want to structure their society differently than ours I see no reason for the hostility and acrimony some have expressed.
Fine with me, but let them foot their own bill. Europe dabbles with utopia and provides day spas and summer vacations for marginally-skilled laborers and counts on the U.S. to cover for their defense. Now that the money's run out, they're having to import a tax base, only to find, surprise surprise, the North Africans, Occidentals, and Slavs have no intention of being their pack mules.
Europe has been busily making its social democrat/communist bed for the past two centuries. They are welcome to sleep in it.
