      Sure, but in the specific case of Latin American socialism, every so-called experiment got couped by the good old U S of A. Hell, you can’t even say that these socialist states were aligned with the USSR, because many of them weren’t.

      repeated failed government experiments in socialism

      This statement lacks that context. Meanwhile, Nordic countries have shown that some levels of socialism are strongly advantageous.

        The Nordic model is the best one. But it’s not socialism, they are social democracies.

          Most of those “socialist experiments” in Latin America were also democracies, so it fits.

            True, but the only thing worse than a two party system is a one party system.

            I hope I get to see a digital global government before I die.
