What's interesting to me is that, with the recent waves of immigration to
Europe, a number of these "socialist" countries are degrading their social
programs.  The theory is, I think, that it was racial and cultural
cohesion which allowed the rise of the socialist (and socialist-like)
policies and, that with the introduction of this "new element", there is
less empathy.

All this is to say that it would probably be a lot harder to introduce
socialism to the United States because of the inherent distrust that has
been manufactured between racial and cultural groups over a long time
span.  (I've heard some say that this is why schools in Ca are
going to hell because the white people don't care about the people.)

Solidarity ain't what it used to be.
