Why does social democracy work in Europe but not South America?

Why does social democracy work in Europe but not South America?

because we actually have money?

REALLY make me think

How well any state functions depends on how well the people that make up the state function. And human beings operate most efficiently in temperate balanced climates. Thus the success of european states.

That's literally the difference. Though with enough technology it might be possible to compensate

yes yes the only difference is the climate they live in

social democracy =/= "democratic" socialism

Think about it. All the most highly developed nations are ones that have balanced climates. And the least developed nations are ones with climates very suboptimal for human activity. And this shapes all of human history, society, culture, religion, etc. Like the cultural differences that have developed between south and north europe, it's all boils down to climate making the difference.

>All the most highly developed nations are ones that have balanced climates.
Obviously extremes are not conducive to civilised society, but a good portion of South America is only as far from the equator as Europe.

Correlation doesn't mean connection

cause USA

Because the social institutions in South America are less stable or well functioning then the ones in Europe due to historical and current day influences.

/thread.

Ideology doesn't mean shit only race.

And indeed, argentina and chile are some of the most advanced and best balanced societes in south america. It's no coincidence, it's based on their position and climate.

That's not because of climate though at all? Are you deliberately trying to make yourself sound stupid.

Yes it is? That explains the difference between Chile and something like Honduras.

Even villages in those countries can show stark differences. Like in Bolivia, there's a world of difference between mountainous villages, where there is order and a way of doing things, and villages by jungles, where there is little sense of order and it's much less civilization overall.

How do you explain sucessful outliers such as sri lanka, the khmer empire and medieval Yemen which are not temperate at all?

Venezuela also had all that oil money like you

>le evil USA XD

but the guys who controlled it are corrupt as shit

There may be some other factor at work that temporarily upset the formula. Also, climates do change over the centuries. There was the small ice age for example. That will surely also have an effect on civilization.

because european social democracy is completely different from bolivian socialism

EL MESTIZAJE MALIGNO

and this

>implying its not true

>let's stage another coup against another democratically elected social-democrat, you guys

This.
If Venezuela wasn't so corrupt they'd be a the jewel of the Spanish speaking world but they are corrupt and now Colombia (spelt it right this time) is catching up and the progress the Venezuelan state has enacted is turning back.

You are constantly shifting the goalposts.

>implying it works in Europe
I founder hear you over the chicken shit nothing military budget and the refugee crisis

I don't think I am. I really believe that climate is the biggest factor that affects how societies evolve. In sweden, the process from absolute monarchy to highly advanced democracy has been relatively free of pain and obstruction. And I think that it's the climate that makes people rational and efficient, and that has laid the groundwork for developing a highly organized society.

>And I think that it's the climate that makes people rational and efficient, and that has laid the groundwork for developing a highly organized society.


Climate doesn't do anything though barring the extremes if you actually bother to do the research. HOW THE FUCK DOES WEATHER MAKE PEOPLE EFFICIENT AND RATIONAL? You can make up ANY bullshit reason why hot or cold weather is better for x thing on top of the fact that many so called reasonings fail when you put any resemblance of rigor against it you dumb ass Swede.

Because obviously temperature affects moods etc? You feel different if it's 10c compared to 20c. You may not notice it in the moment. But over time, over generations, over hundreds or thousands of years, it would have a significant impact in how people in an area would move, live, change, what they value in their culture, and so on.

Corruption is not only a game in SA, but a way of life.

Nobody has any faith in their institutions.

Democracy is not enough you need education.
