Socialism itself is a spectrum of failed experiments. National, international, democratic socialism have all been tried and failed. Tito tried to put it a human face and failed. Latin America tried socialism of the 21st century and also failed. Then you have morons telling you that it hasn't been tried yet.

That latin america's socialism failed is only proof that the CIA are good at their jobs. But I am not sure what information we can get about socialism from that.

The CIA did a crappy job. The failed at Bay of Pigs and let Fidel Castro live long enough to spread this cancer on the whole continent.

At this point, this discussion has gotten way off-topic for LWN. Let's end this thread here, please. Thanks.

People who defend communism / socialism have never read these books:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Book_of_Communism

https://www.amazon.com/Socialism-Failed-Idea-That-Never/d...

If someone had read any one of these two books, or even one chapter, they would not defend it.
