You've tried to make that same point over and over and over. The world's coming economic collapse is due to the "awakening" of the Third World, the exploding population and the scarcity of resources.
There is no one economic system or political party to blame. Borders are porous to capital, flowing to the highest return and lowest wages. (See "Romney" for how that works.)
One could try to blame "entitlements", one could effectively blame military spending in the US, noting the rest of the world isn't that goddamned dumb, one could blame almost anything, welfare queens to generals. Ain't the cause.
Two more stressors. Global warmings' disruption of weather patterns affecting crops is a big one, and that can effectively be blamed upon the usual suspects - mega-corporations and extremists who follow them.
And the fight for fresh water is going to heat up drastically.
But don't blame entitlements unless you are willing to cut the ridiculous expenditures on a military which can't win a modern war.

No, your point was how screwed up "socialist" countries are.
