UTOPIA

​For those trying to resurrect socialism as a modern-day equalizing and humane approach to economics and believing this with all of their heart, you'd better look at Venezuela, Cuba, and the former Soviet Union.

Socialism has never proven to work in real life after Karl Marx advocated for the end of capitalism and the rise of the proletariat by controlling the means of production. Hence, these government's took over all parts of their economy and ruined it all.

Remember Cambodia and Pol Pot's experimentation in the 70s which led to not just genocide but hunger due to bad agriculture and because there were no educated agriculturists and planners around to help. They've been massacred. 

Socialism is good for academic discussions when it's about history and causes of wars and major economic declines and useful for performative militancy.

Beware of electing someone who openly espoused this belief and will implement this failed dream once elected to power. Believe them when they say, they're going to turn your state/country into another Cuba.  

It could very well happen.
