Well, it’s interesting to note, that later within the article you somehow manage to draw Europe into the equation, but, while cherry-picking Bismark’s welfare state, you carefully omit the fact that somehow, Europe managed to produce the ideas of slavery, fascism, nazism etc. etc. while, how did you put it? “Investing into each other”.
One might also note, that all governments modeled after Marx’s (who, in your article you seem to deify), have historically been some of the most repressed, depressed and failed societies and states in existence. Moreover, only ones that embraced free exchange of goods and services, the basic tenet of capitalism, managed to survive and build a working society, the ones that had not, ended up in oblivion.
Personally, after reading this article, I am on the opinion, that such cherry-picking of historical facts and lessons either shows a complete disregard to the rigorous process of argument or simply, a lack of knowledge on your part.
Europe, with its’, indeed, higher levels of human development came to the state that it is in through an extremely painful, long process of forming cohesiveness, one that is constantly on the verge of collapse, through centrifugal forces within society itself, and the people themselves who forget historic lessons or lack understanding of the consequences of their actions.
In short, your article is an extreme oversimplification that rather hurts than helps your position.
