Nevertheless, the post-war Europeans embraced socialism and touted its success, never realizing that it worked only because the U.S. paid their defense costs and absorbed the costs of wars around the world.<\/p>\n<p>When the Soviet Union collapsed, and America\u2019s defense spending waned, the true costs of socialism began to be clear: The economies became sluggish; the birthrates collapsed, necessitating importing third world, usually Muslim, labor; the social services started imploding, especially because those same third worlders drained the systems, despite never having contributed to them; soft on crime policies destroyed civilized society; and the brain rot of socialism saw Europe embrace the madcap, self-destructive idea of Net Zero carbon output, which has seen Europe retreat from the modern world into a cold, dark, pre-modern time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All of this is what today\u2019s Marxist Democrats want for America.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a data-image-external-href=\"\" data-image-href=\"\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/r7naktbie381ozhvb7bv_640.jpg?itok=2vv3J79M\" data-link-option=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/r7naktbie381ozhvb7bv_640.jpg?itok=2vv3J79M\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"a6da0e08-6d19-47d2-9ed0-da12ca1a1dc1\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" height=\"323\" width=\"500\" class=\"inline-images image-style-inline-images\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/r7naktbie381ozhvb7bv_640.jpg?itok=2vv3J79M\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Democrats have always revered Europe. <\/strong>For decades, they\u2019ve made nasty jokes about \u201cflyover country,\u201d referring to those parts of America that haven\u2019t embraced European sophistication as parochial hicks.
