So you are defending socialism then. There are no "two kinds"; there is only one kind, and only through aggression, whether militaristic or economic, can it be propped up. Germany's not too far behind France and Italy when it comes to their debt problems, you know (or maybe you don't—in which case, you heard it here first); their ace in the hole is their ability to control the ECB. The "variety of reasons" for socialist countries to succeed are all draconian, protectionist, imperialistic, centralizationistic (sic) reasons. (Which makes me wonder: if you accuse me of being on a "nationalist kick" for no reason at all, does this mean you're admitting to being on an imperialistic kick? I evaded nothing; you cited false reasons, while I cited the truth.)

“So you are defending socialism then... I evaded nothing.”

Don’t they teach reading comprehension over there?...
