Is Greece the end result of what happens when socialism runs out of other people's money

So leftist run Greece is on the brink of going Kaput,  this is the end result of social leftist government action,  this is what is happening to America because of the American left

Right. Because all socialist countries have now collapsed. There must be something inherently wrong with socialism.

If a country allows its population to avoid paying taxes and go on the pension at 55 then bankruptcy is inevitable.

That's an excellent illustration of the lie which is socialism. The something for nothing culture and welfareism as a lifestyle will always end in disaster as portrayed by socialist Greece. The poor Greeks are confused and frightened and don't seem to understand that they were, and continue to be the architects of their economic plight. They're learning that borrowed money has to be repaid. Hey, left wing Greece, it's payback time.

Socialism coupled with greed corruption and sloth are at the root of what went wrong in Greece. Source

IMO socialism played an important part in destroying whatever work ethic existed. Socialism alone did not kill the Greek economy, but when added on top of a corrupt government and a weak economy, the end was easy to predict. Socialism can work in an otherwise stable country. But it can still create dependencies that put a heavy burden government. These dependencies can work against recovery if the economy becomes weak.

In short socialism is not the best form of government, but it can be supported until the source of revenue weakens. Then a spiral of taxes ensue to take the final toll on the economy and the government.

Socialist governments are terrible. Just steal from the hardworking and give to the lazy. They also obstinately refuse to give in to austerity measures which are necessary in times of economic hardship. Tsipras mate you're a cretin. I hate Golden Dawn but Greece would probably fare better under them than some leftard.

Because they are not. You may call 60% or more on taxes successful, most would call that robbery

They haven't run out of money yet. Greece was a combination of Socialist programs with conservative taxation. When the liberals wake up and want their money, the government will reduce taxes and fail.

I doubt you even understand the reasons for the situation in Greece.

Please explain how socialism has led to the country's collapse.
