Most all countries are socialist...to include the US. However, there’s this thick layer of capitalist that exist which gives you a mixture of 80-percent capitalism and 20-percent socialism. Taxes, social security Meidcare, etc....all hinge to socialism.

The point of failure is when a government has seized enough capitalist assets....that there is no more taxation occurring, no more profit occurring....then the whole set-up of socialism starts to fall apart. Finland survives on as a socialist state because they make a number of things which sell to other countries and taxes can be collected. Once you reach a point where you have nothing much to sell...socialism will kill off the entire magic formula.

Possibly.

If you use the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto as a guideline for implementation, ..

How many planks have we implemented?

IOW, when you run out of other people's money!
