a socialist healthcare system in a country where the vast majority are contributors

I seriously doubt such a situation could ever endure, regardless of the racial composition of the nation. People respond to incentives.

Look at Sweden or Norway. It worked so well for a few decades that everyone was persuaded to give up their culture and identity and ended up allowing thousands of violent Muslim parasites into their towns. It blinded them to human nature and they are now reaping the consequences.

Humans need a certain amount of struggle and conflict in order to function properly.

As my Norwegian friend explained to me, the only way Norway and Sweden were able to keep up those systems was because they had massive natural resources that the government made massive profits off of and fed that money into everything they needed. He was telling me that parts of his (Norway's) finances nearly broke when oil prices fell.

Life is defined by struggle, and if we entirely remove it, then you start getting mass epidemics of things like depression and anxiety because people can neither find purpose to fight for, or a sense of strong identity to see purpose in. Fortunately, you can only avoid it for so long. Struggle is finding its way back to us.

They do, but they also respond to social stigmas. I know a more than a few whites who qualify for government handouts but won't take them because they don't want to be parasites, even though they've already paid a shitload into the system.
