Germany is a complex and rather unique blend between both systems, and frankly wasn't really that diverse until rather recently with Merkel's high-volume immigration policies.

The US has a plenty of "safety-net socialism" as well, so I'm not sure of your point you are making about CA..a country that almost doubles its national debt ($12t to $20t) in only 8 years is surely doing its best to provide for its people, no?

For how many generations is that possible before the country bankrupts itself?
