#1 An estimated 50,000 students and lecturers were taking part in the demonstration...

"Lecturers" huh...so that's what the kids are calling radical Socialists these days.

#2 I really do not get it. Socialism has failed every time it has been tried at enormous economic and human cost.

And yet each generation wants to try again.

Is capitalism perfect? No. But it is kind like democracy. It appears bad except when compared to every other system we have managed to come up with.

I just do not understand.

#3 "I really do not get it. Socialism has failed every time it has been tried at enormous economic and human cost. And yet each generation wants to try again."

Kelly, it's simple. All the other times it's been tried, they didn't do it correctly.

This generation ~~of leftist loons~~ will do it the right way, and this time we'll at last have our Workers' Paradise.™

See?

#4 Yes.

Actually my own personal explanation for the failure of the institution of Socialism is that the leaders were not sufficiently efficient in hunting down and executing enemies of the state.
