Wasn't Venezuela socialized too? Switzerland sounds awesome; make tons more money there and work fewer hours...why isn't that the norm everywhere if it's so great and works out so well? Their population is 8 million vs 318 million here in the U.S......

Most of the europeans do not realize how much of their wealth comes from cooperating with Americans and using cheap labour in countries with liberal laws. Lets make cars expensive because they pollute our country it's not a problem we can all drive bikes it's much better. Then we sing kumbaya and call it a day while our biggest corporation fucks up the earth.

Sure but most of the EU have the benefits this article talks about. Not the high salary, but all the rest.

Venezuela has nothing to do with what we do in Europe. I am kind of tired of this kind of ignorance. Please educate yourself about the differences. And Europe is a lot of different countries with different systems. Switzerland is among the most capitalistic in Europe. Definitely not socialist as you imagine. You imagine anything that doesn't sound brutal and exploitative must be a socialist dream?

    Not quiet sure conclusions can be taken about an alternative model (socialism) based on a single implementation (Venezuela), which, by the way, probably got a little bit of foreign help to fail, if you look at history..

    "plz tell me the differences" Seriously? The only common thing between Switzerland and Venezuela is that they are on the same planet. If you ask for examples for difference you just prove that you are rather uneducated.

      Please don't engage in personal attacks like this, no matter other users have said (which looks suspiciously troll-ish, anyway).
