The USSR went from agrarian to space faring in 35 years. In that time they incorporated nearby countries, industrialized and educated them, made big leaps in living conditions, and defeated the nazis

Bob Rae’s Ontario made hard decisions in an attempt to NOT lay workers off. That’s a success in my book.

Perhaps they've failed because It's a global economy now. Socialist countries would have a difficult time competing. Capitalism lead to the highest standard of living ever.

Did they thrive though? If one side wins and the other looses, which one is thriving? What socialist society thrived? Give us a list.

Why is it easier to believe that it’s a CIA conspiracy that socialist economies fail rather than they inherently disincentivize productivity and innovation which ensures that long term it will fail.

So what’s Russia excuse for the Holodomor famine. Western countries had nothing to do with that. Stalin was such a great leader as long as you agreed with everything he said

Capitalism works great with people that are willing to work hard and make something for themselves.

Hey Boots, don’t let conservatives define socialism. Canada, GB, Australia, NZ, most of the EU, NATO, Japan, Singapore etc. are all very successful socialist countries. Social safety net = socialism

Capitalism isn't doing too hot either. It may have worked in the short term, but there is no world where exponential economic growth is ever going to do anything but vacuum up the wealth to the rich.

capitalism is an economic idea, there nothing stopping anyone in a capitalistic society from starting a company and giving every worker an equal share of the profits. 1/2

And a truly capitalist society doesn’t exist. It’s all propped up by government grants and tax breaks that do nothing to help workers.

But also they deny countries that are socialist are socialist when you point to the most successful ones. It’s a closed theory to them.

Dude really thinks hunter gatherers are socialists. They are called hunter gatherer tribes for a reason: They killed or the picked, there is no production.

In tribes you had to carry your weight or you’d be kicked out. It doesn’t work for millions of people, why would anyone work if they can live for free on welfare?

The way some of these opinions come off they don't like the idea of supporting other people with the taxes we all pay, but want all the support for themselves.

Socialist societies have been around for centuries … look at religious orders, like the Benedictines, etc, the Hutterites, the Mennonites. Also European Municipalities are called Communes.
