Socialism with independent means is a contradiction in basic terms. You have to realize that to be an idealist you should burn your money, because when your fave poli system gets it final way nobody will have any except people who work for the government. And that will be fake money, declining in value hourly.

65% of the GDP of Canada is the civil service wages and outlays. The 65% service sector of the G7 nations is because their civil service is just that part of the economy.

It is unsustainable and the primary reason for rampant inflation and decline in available money to replace infrastructure. I can date the beginning of the decline in private sector capability and the rise of government at about 1968. After that only government grew in real terms. And it has reached its limit. No more people can possibly be hired. The decline in infrastructure and sustainable cities has begun in earnest. And the civil unions are crying for more money and less work, while the politicians argue over an ever declining money pie. None of them see that there just isn't enough to go around no matter how you split it up. The only way to advance is to lay off 65% of the civil service and try to rebuild basic industry. We are talking 2 million employees in Canada. That would be a saving of 175 billion per year. It ain't much, but it's a start.
