https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/this-is-how-the-us-military-would-put-down-an-armed-rebellionPrecedents for fighting an insurrection

Benson and Weber cite Abraham Lincoln's executive actions during the Civil War and Dwight Eisenhower's 1957 intervention in Little Rock, Arkansas as precedents for the executive use of force in crushing a rebellion. The President would be able to mobilize the military and Department of Homeland Security to recapture a secessionist city and restore the elected government.
The government would invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 to form a response.

From Title 10 US Code the President may use the militia or Armed Forces to:

§ 331 – Suppress an insurrection against a State government at the request of the Legislature or, if not in session, the Governor.
§ 332 – Suppress unlawful obstruction or rebellion against the U.S.
§ 333 – Suppress insurrection or domestic violence if it (1) hinders the execution of the laws to the extent that a part or class of citizens are deprived of Constitutional rights and the State is unable or refuses to protect those rights or (2) obstructs the execution of any Federal law or impedes the course of justice under Federal laws.)

The Insurrection Act governs the roles of the military, local law enforcement, and civilian leadership inside the U.S. as this type of scenario plays

or this Codetermination in Germany is a concept that involves the right of workers to participate in management of the companies they work for.[1] Known as Mitbestimmung, the modern law on codetermination is found principally in the Mitbestimmungsgesetz of 1976. The law allows workers to elect representatives (usually trade union representatives) for almost half of the supervisory board of directors. The legislation is separate from the main German company law Act for public companies, the Aktiengesetz. It applies to public and private companies, so long as there are over 2,000 employees. For companies with 500–2,000 employees, one third of the supervisory board must be elected.

There is also legislation in Germany, known as the Betriebsverfassungsgesetz,[2] whereby workers are entitled to form Works Councils at local shop floor level.Codetermination in Germany is a concept that involves the right of workers to participate in management of the companies they work for.[1] Known as Mitbestimmung, the modern law on codetermination is found principally in the Mitbestimmungsgesetz of 1976.

the hell it isnt its the oldest welfare state on earth!!! 

Studies show that people that life in welfare states like Denmark or Germany are happier and live bette lives and many people equate welfare spending with socialism though most welfare states were designed by liberals and implemented by conservatives to blunt the appeal of socialist ideology, but the welfare state version of capitalism works

how can you deny what it right in your face happening?

the needs of the many must out weigh the needs of the few or the one

Look maybe I shouldn't call myself a Socialist, i DID THAT  at first because every time i suggested some moderately progressive policy, i got accused of being a Socialist or a communist. When I said okay but look at the Nordic nations , they have the policies I endorse and they thrive. I got reminded they weren't Socialist at all they were very market friendly in many ways more than we are . So I said okay lets go with those policies. I got reminded that those policies were "socialistic' . Do you see the mind f*(k going on here? I mean come on! What a stupid game, and I feel for it!@!! 

So okay maybe we cant be Western Europe either, but could we at least try for Canada? I think thats doable .

Will the ideal society look like Denmark ,Switzerland , or Singapore ? Is small better, or must big government be contained in small states?
