Real answer? = Yes & No.
Some are very intelligent people, who do not see the big picture, or the result that awaits this method of governance.
Their most common response is ‘Real Socialism has not been done the right way yet, so THAT’S why it fails miserably everytime it’s attempted in real life.

Maduro is doing it ‘wrong’.
Mugabe did it ‘wrong’
Castro was ‘misinterpreted’.
Lenin & Stalin are being ‘misreported and wrongly vilified’
Obama was ‘Ahead of his time’.
Bernie Sanders was ‘too late to the game and way too nice’.

But, occasional cortex KNOWS how to do it right. Right? “Just pay for it.”

Or, "If only Trotsky replaced Lenin, instead of Stalin."

Yes, very similar to those sleazy late night infomercials and free lunch seminars pushing the same old get rich quick scams as new ways to achieve instant wealth. Like buying real estate with no $$$ down. Making a killing in stocks regardless of market conditions. Investing thousands in the latest snake oil while building a downline or some other unworkable pyramid racket. They'll tell you other systems failed because they were implemented wrong by the wrong people but THEY have a proven system that works. Those 4 deadly words THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT! And like the red diaper doper babies and hippies before them too many millenials fall for this crap like so many brainwashed little puppies.
