don't you logically think that if all the systems were a failure, at least one of them would have dumped it?

I know Tim has made this point repeatedly and so have I. It's hard to go back. Once people are used to getting something for free, it would have to be absolutely horrid before they'd consider giving it up. Once you go socialized, you're pretty much stuck with it. Remember when the Soviet Union failed? That system was horrid but only a few people jumped at the opportunity for something different. Most were reluctant to come out of the dark. And many countries are still in a rut. Social services are predominantly a one-way street.
