    Social Democracy as seen in the Nordics IMO is a the target for now - how realistic rather depends on the country. There would continue to be winners and loosers, but society is a lot "fairer" and "kinder". How one encourages the winners in the current system to both give more and stop the propaganda that somehow the tax system is better as it is; if the general populace could grasp that socialism isn't communism that'd be great.
