Worked well for Germany, right?

Not like we had a war over socialism...

Ask the starving people of Venezuela how socialism is working.
 Quoting: DasViking


You're using 2 of the most extreme examples of socialism run amok to prove that they can't work.

Why do we keep using the most extreme anomalies to dictate conversations about the vast majority that isn't that extreme?

It feels...retarded.
 Quoting: PharmaceuticalsShrinkCocks


So, what's a less extreme example?

An example with any modicum of success, that didn't massacre thousands of people to take or maintain order.
 Quoting: C.K. Dexter Haven


For a socialist nation that is relatively successful and peaceful, I would list Portugal. It's no powerhouse of any sort and would fall under a strong gust of wind, but they aren't massacring the general population on a daily basis.

Also, no nation ever operated under "pure socialism," "pure communism," or "pure capitalism," so there's that.

They were all bastardized perversions of what the root political ideology espoused, because again, as I noted earlier, GREED and CORRUPTION.

America for example, as is the case for most powerful nations, is what I would call a "full-spectrum political ideology" where all platforms are in play at once, to varying degrees.

Or we can keep killing each other over semantics.
