from what i saw of germany, switzerland and austria, it seemed to me like there is big problems with socialism of various flavours
and voting in a liberal democracy is only helping it move closer to a pure form of socialism
the closer it gets, the less your private property rights are respected and the higher the frequency of violence and misappropriation of property
every nation is an event that starts with people getting fed up with the old socialism, forcibly trimming it down to something not too big, and it growing steadily back up again until the cycle repeats
happens about every 50-100 years, you can find this is a consistent pattern throughout all of recorded history
