Why do some Americans think European countries are socialist?

Think Countries Answers

The myth might have arisen from Germany and the Scandivian countries, where public health insurance is mandatory, and what the heck would it be to contribute some percentage of your monthly wage to a public health insurance that does not only take care of a hurt leg, but also pays you a full cancer treatment if you need it?

That's not socialist. That's reasonable.

European Countries might become Nationalist Countries soon enough after 2017 or 2020,coz of the European Unions failure.

There ARE a few European countries that have Democratic Socialism. Many of them are on the very edge of financial collapse, but American Liberals STILL think money grows on Money Trees in Washington, D.C.

Lol, they are socialist-capitalist mix. Yeah, we're educated, fella. They have national health care systems, high personal tax rates, and extensive gov't benefits.

And in Japan, Japanese corporations openly collude. Foreign banks are locked out of Japan gov't systems.

Lol. You call "myth" and know nothing. YOU'RE a myth.
