We leftist of Quebec, Canada, have this problem to fix in order to move on and progress; Our welfare state is failing, and everybody is pointing at us for the blame.

Personally, i think the real problem with many welfare state, including Quebec is that inefficient bureaucracy built around those big rigid structures.

Its not that we dont put enough money into it, its beccause our governement sucked at optimizing the structures and decided to privatize rather than put more money into making those services efficients.


I think its important to have a discussion about it, beccause if our system keep falling appart and we do nothing about it, the Nutscase libertarian are gonna grab the opportunity and push for massive privatization.

Being swedish I can sympathize with this problem, framing it like demands for democratization and community control of the publicly owned resources is one angle to get at it.
