Social democracy, a subtype of democracy merged with social safety nets, has not failed and is thriving in nations such as Germany, Sweden, and Norway.
so is Germany you fool
it's called the federal REPUBLIC of Germany
we are ALSO a Republic, with States
we are a federal Republic, albeit an illiberal regime, aka a defective democracy
The one thing the demonrats never understand is culture plays a massive role in government. Just because someone else's system works for them doesn't mean it will be accepted here. Watch Virginia, the anti-gun governor is a great example of what I am talking about. The public is in her face and letting her know anti-gun laws will not be tolerated. She has failed before she even got started.
the DPRK is a one party watchman state
Germany is a social democratic federal Republic
the US is an electoral oligarchical regime
they are not the same
