An Example of Why Socialism Doesn't Work

Here is a list of countries listed from the most capitalist economies to the worst.  Note worker paradises such as China, cuba and Venezuela are at the bottom.

So "most capitalist" and "worst" are opposites?

You seem a bit biased. I asked you to define "successful" and you weaseled, as you always do.

The list speaks for itself

Weasel.

How come the all the socialist economies are at the bottom of both lists? 

Because the person who made the list is an idiot.

I wouldn't describe it as such. I would describe that as regulations on capitalism. I'm unsure of the wiseness of such regulations however I wouldn't describe them as socialism. 

The people who are most vociferously critical of socialism don't have the slightest understanding of what it is. They more often than not conflate it with THEM EVIL EMPIRE COMMIES.

A socialist socioeconomic system works best when the goal is to foster equality. We aren't a functioning democracy because of our rampant economic inequality. We follow the Golden Rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules.

I would say thats alot closer to socialism than anything proposed by any president of either party since the Millennium.    Funny how Democrats seem to always be identified with that label when Trump does stuff like this.

Because a major element of MAGA orthodoxy is strident opposition to THEM COMMIES, who are/were also SOOOOOCIALISTS because after all, that term was part of Soviet Russia's name. So if Republicans/MAGA want to demonize someone...they call them a SOOOOOCIALIST.

Trump's not a socialist. He's an evil authoritarian fascist.
