Governments are monopolists, monopolists in making laws that result in private property being declared public property and taking away form the former original owner ("taxes"). Like all monopolists, they have an inbuilt tendency for expansion, and must sooner or later collide with monopolists of the same type from other regions/nations. Therefore there is the tendency towards growing centralization and forming of fewer, increasingly powerful monopolists, and in the end only one monopolist will remain: the world government. Here people will have ended up in a society where they can no longer vote with their feet against their government, because this one government rules everywhere and the same law restrictions and taxes apply to everybody, everywhere. Such a state will be the implementation of the socialistic utopia, enforced by totalitarian control, not knowing private property or private responsibility, and thus demotivating against trying to improve, to do something out of initiative, to work for something better. Instead, since nobody can own anything anymore and all is public property of the collective instead, costs and deficits get socialised, nobody tries to counter that, and the society will degenerate in economic impotence, fatalism and laziness. We have seen that in the Eastern economies until the USSR collapsed. Not to own , not to produce and not to improve necessarily must be more attractive in such a society, than trying to gain something to own, to produce, to improve.

Socialism always must lead to cultural and social degeneration and political totalitarianism, since it appeals to the lowest in man, and defames and mercilessly supresses all quality that has the potential to ennoble him.

And that's why every bit of government expansion must be fought tooth and nail even if it does cause certain Europeans to roll their eyes.
