Why isn’t Europe as great as it once was? On “The Andrew Klavan Show” Tuesday, host Andrew Klavan explained that one of the reasons Europe has declined is its adoption of socialism. In even more dramatic fashion, Central and South America are feeling the devastating consequences of a more aggressive socialism. With the rise of “Democratic Socialism” in the U.S., Klavan asked, are we next?
“Europe as it was, the great Europe, the thing we think about when we think about Europe — it’s dead, it’s gone,” said Klavan. “The Europe of Michelangelo, the Europe of Mozart, the Europe of Shakespeare, the Europe of John Locke, the Europe that changed the world, that Europe is gone.” While it may experience some form of “rebirth,” like Greece through the Roman Empire, he said, “right now Europe is dead, and the reason it’s dead and the way it died is socialism.”
