i have the "slight" suspicion that the german "social market economy" just combines the worst of all worlds: spending half of your pay for dubious forced state insurances who don't pay if you need them and hypercapitalism destroying everything because _they_ are wealthy enough that the rules don't apply.
it's really kafkaesque if you think about it.
@bonifartius I agree. Big organizations and corporations are also a construct by the State, namely offer legal protection/regulation in exchange of collecting taxes. Incredible racket, as few realizes it.
