Here's my feedback: 100M people died of socialism in the 20th century. Can we just STOP with this madness please?

  On the other hand, China's implementation of socialism has taken it from a third world country to the most powerful nation in the world in a little under 40 years.

    Yeah that's not really socialism that's doing that. They're become pretty capitalistic over there in certain respects.

      It's pretty convenient for you to call a communist a communist only when he fails, but then take credit when he succeeds. I still see a nation with no liberty, controlled by a central planner to a very large extent. It may not conform perfectly to Marx's vision, but it sure as hell doesn't conform to Adam Smith's, either.

  This is very different from socialism you're referring to. It's just an increase in the amount of money that goes to welfare. A minor parametric change branded as something new.
