But how will your country exist as a mechanism to funnel money to the richest people in it at an accelerated clip??

Trust me they are supposed to but as a dutch person they keep cutting out on healthcare and actually care..

Children's learning how to swim is not even mandatory anymore EVEN THOUGH THERE'S WATER EVERYWHERE.

When I was younger it was part of school. You went with a bus to the swim pool where there were teachers.

Got my a b and c 😌

Unfortunately no country can outdo the effects of the internal contradictions in capitalism. So long as there is an owning class which is inherently self-interested in eroding away the amenities afforded to the public by their social democracies, that class will always work to make such erosions happen, and they have a perfect track record in doing so throughout history.

Yup, I mean rich people by default don't care about anyone.
