I don’t need the karma. I get downvoted on any comment that dares to suggest leftist ideas aren’t categorically correct and don’t care at all. Sure it’s possible that no one has ever tried the flavor of socialism that bypasses the corruption and power-seeking all rulers have been prone to for millennia. But it is a weak argument to rely on that. All we know is no one has proven a non-corrupt fully socialist state that actually has a good economy has been achieved. Both that and cold fusion might be someday achieved, but I think cold fusion is orders of magnitude more likely. All it takes is one bad-faith leader to bring down a political system, so even if it’s achieved it may not be worth it. Why do I say a good economy? Because I assert that even with its flaws, it’s way nicer to be a very-low-wage earner here than even to be median in Mao’s China or modern-day DPRK. So if you have perfect equality with a worthless economy it’s not really a victory.
