Socialism seems to work in Germany

The difference with the socialism here is that people truly enjoy it, want it, support it, don't take advantage of it, still want to do their part to help the greater good and don't look to the government as some sort of nanny.

At one time Germans were serious savers and would never easily take welfare, but now it seems they are happier to take the money -- but this is clearly only due to the greed they see at the highest levels of banking and the increased unemployment due to the breakdown of a free market...
