#1 Summary of some of the comments at the NYT: "It wasn't real socialism and besides it was Trump's fault." I continue to be impressed by the number of governments that walk, talk, and act like socialism/communism, but really aren't.

#2 ..cause they also believe in the magic money tree?

Socialism calls for the centralization of power. When such power is amassed, there never can be any right man, woman, or people to carry it out. That's what America's Constitutional founders understood. It is why it dissipates power among the states and within the national government. That is why our Left hates the written Constitution and seeks all means to corrupt it.

#4 "Next time, We'll do it RIGHT™"

Heh, the old "it hasn't been done right" excuse. Given that no one has managed to do it at nation-state scale in a century, one starts to suspect there are some fundamental problems with the concept.

Hey, given that the whole idea was dreamed up by dead white men, why hasn't it been discredited by now?

#5 Everyone that says 'they'll do it right" should move to the next socialist nation and help it along. Give up their passports and go full in on making socialism a success. Until then they are just idiots gambling with others misery.
