>the hallmark of any truly socialist government is that it spends too much money on unproductive investments Care to name one of these hallmark "truly socialist governments"? I think this is a figment of your imagination. Socialism is one point on a slider and laissez-faire capitalism on the other side. If you slide the bar too far in either direction it breaks. Which is why no one does. Sweden has 52% taxes, free health care, free schooling, etc., etc. Are they one of your "hallmarks"? Because they are also very capitalistic. What you should really be worried, what is really causing world-wide problems is corporatism/fascism.
