It has been tried in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
It has been tried by blacks, whites and Asians.
It has been tried by wealthy countries and poor countries.
It has been tried by bullets and by ballots.
It has been tried by well educated peoples and illiterate peoples.
It has been tried by religious groups and atheist groups.
It has been tried by industrialized nations and subsistence nations.
It has been tried by modern nations and backwards nations.
