No one would call them truly socialist, ask those in Venezuela.

If the US wanted to be more like Canada, we would not have fought the Revolutionary War.


If the US was more like Western Europe, who would have defeated Hitler?

That's kind of a strange assertion, because the Revolutionary War occurred nearly 100 years before the nation of Canada existed. How can you say Nation X could have wanted to be like Nation Y 100 years before they had any idea what Nation Y was going to be like?

Yet another strange statement. Other Western European nations fought against Hitler. What does that have to do with anything?

Universal education? I'd say that has been a failure!
