In even more dramatic fashion, Central and South America are feeling the devastating consequences of a more aggressive socialism. With the rise of &#8220;Democratic Socialism&#8221; in the U.S., Klavan asked, are we next?</p>
<p>&#8220;Europe as it was, the great Europe, the thing we think about when we think about Europe &#8212; it&#8217;s dead, it&#8217;s gone,&#8221; said Klavan. &#8220;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.&#8221; While it may experience some form of &#8220;rebirth,&#8221; like Greece through the Roman Empire, he said, &#8220;right now Europe is dead, and the reason it&#8217;s dead and the way it died is socialism.&#8221;</p>
