The thing is, that once you have socialist programs in place, people get 
a sense of entitlement and you can't flip a switch and go back to an 
earlier state without a lot of rioting and chaos.  Almost all countries 
that we think of as socialist are socialist moving towards capitalism. 
Sweden has actually created a model to do that for other countries.  You 
have to phase things in or out over generations..no switch flipping. 
Think of what a nightmare it would be to just suddenly end the social 
security program, or welfare, or disability...
