Ultimately, socialism fails everywhere it is tried because it fails to recognize one thing: its basic premise destroys incentive. It punishes the productive and rewards the indolent. In so doing it merely creates more indolent.

The end result of the coming collapse of Socialist Europe will be another World War.

Indeed. The only real question IMO is whether a European tyrant will rise and slaughter the immigrants, or whether a Muslim tyrant will rise and slaughter the remaining Europeans.

It will be the former. Unjustified arrogance and slovinliness are some of the hallmarks of cowardice. Whatever else you may think of the current state of Europe, history amply demonstrates that they are not cowards (except the french) and once they remember that, the invading muslims will be toast.

I think rather they are marks of barbarism. And while barbarians may have individual courage in plenty, they are sorely lacking in fire discipline and sound tactics. That might be the difference.

There is one point not mentioned in this article. Excessive, burdensome taxation gives rise to those who will find ingenious ways to make money "outside the system". When people are paid by government not to work and have a lot of "free time", the natural inclination is either to drink and smoke dope all day, or find another way to supplement their income. We see this in spades (no pun intended) in places like Oakland, California, where the unemployment rate for young black males runs about 40% for a variety of reasons, one of which is the city is a microcosm of the welfare state in action. The "underground, cash-only" economy revolves around drug sales. And, naturally, the crime rate, especially gang-related murder, is astronomical.

That's exactly right. The European 'far right' (read: patriots) grow in numbers in the same proportion of the numbers of the Mohammedans. When the smoke clears, we'll take our countries back and the Mohammedans will be returning to theirs.
