@whodey saidI couldn't possibly summarize the history of socialism in each and every European country over the past 100 years including the ramifications for workers' rights in a few paragraphs here. If you are interested in this question, which I know you are not, I suggest you start looking into this issue yourself.

@no1marauder saidStamping your feet and insisting you are right when every standard definition says you are wrong isn't as impressive as a bluff as you pretend it to be.

Admit your error and move on like a grownup.
EDIT: Your own in bold definition:
Stagflation is a condition of slow economic growth and relatively high unemployment, OR economic stagnation, accompanied by r ...[text shortened]... personal attacks and will continue to do so. I am "qualified" enough to see through your propaganda.
@ashiitaka said3% real growth and full employment is not "stagnation" by any definition except the one you have created.
Stamping your feet and insisting you are right when every standard definition says you are wrong isn't as impressive as a bluff as you pretend it to be.
Are you (an economically illiterate, ignorant layman) claiming to know of *every* definition? Furthermore, do you honestly believe that I cannot see through such an obvious bluff? It's clear that your understandin ...[text shortened]... as I am right by both definitions), all because it's not the same as one you found in a dictionary.

@earl-of-trumps saidGood grief.
@KazetNagorra
I am not saying "all", Kaz. But I will tell you this, the economic misery will take hold eventually. Remember, the infrastructure such of duch countries was already established like it was in Russia before the revolution. And as time went along, it was clear that the "progressive" movement was going backwards and Russia/USSR could not even keep up with the maintenance. It takes time to destroy a nation's infrastructure but they will eventually.
@eladar saidIncome isn’t what you judge wealth by.
@KazetNagorra
Check out Switzerland. The article I saw said they bring home on average 84k.
For the US
Practical tax rate: 18%
Average pre-tax salary: $64,154
Average post-tax salary: $52,344
Netherlands
Practical tax rate: 41%
Average pre-tax salary: $51,669
Average post-tax salary: $30,562
@eladar saidEducation is free?
Education is free in the US. Healthcare is free for many.
It would be nice if someone would actually crunch those numbers.
@whodey saidI never even claimed that "Europe is socialist," let alone having had this claim "disproven."
I just love this response.
Sure, I've been proved wrong that Europe is really socialist, but I will continue to say it is anyway using my defense as, "Go study about it cuz I either can't or will not use my words to defend my lie any longer".
Brilliant!
