But-but-but it is because the WRONG PEOPLE end up running the socialist system, doncha know. If they just get in the RIGHT people, this time it will work for sure.
Oddly, even with the “right people”, socialism ends up being a command-and-control economy. Complete with “re-education camps”, rationing and chronic shortages in even the basic needs.
Eventually socialism runs out of other people’s money.
The problems of socialism and communism, have frequently been blamed on people just not doing things properly.
Having seen so many historic examples of the faults of socialism and communism, from Lenin and Stalin to chairman Mao and Pol Pot and Castro, we are supposed to believe, that these good communists just didn’t implement the theories of Marx and Engels properly.
And we are also supposed to believe that people such as Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez will do it right this time.
Its ironic that every single time socialism is set up, it always dails because everytime the failure is blamed on the wrong people running it.
Also ironic that these same wrong people running failed systems adorn tshirts, romaticized movies, and ornaments of the so called socialist lovers who want socialism but say it fails because of these very same wrong people.
Castro got it wrong, but i still love him and have a tshirt of his with Che’s.
you know its a lie. because they dont reject the people they claim messed up their attempt at socialism. they still worship them.
