So many say REAL Communist Socialism has never been tried.
It is always “WE will do it right next time!”
Yet NO ONE says REAL National Socialism has never been tried.
There are three tiers to political evil. One is communism, the other is national socialism, and the other is fascism. All slightly different, yet all failed because of human involvement. Humans are greedy, humans are cruel, and humans can be diabolical at the expense of others. Which all are even Witnessed in a strict Capitalist Society. In order for any of those systems of government to work humans cannot be involved, no matter what anybody says about the “perfect” this or that-ism the fact remains, humans will become involved.
Imagine (if you will) a future where computers run the world using socialist or perhaps communist models. Humans are not involved... That would be a Horror.
Diabolical capitalism is easily thwarted simply by emerging technologies or boycott. Oligarchs are a different animal, usually changed through a more persuasive cult of personality, but retaining authoritative power with the undercurrent of will to break the glass in case of emergency.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable” - Cicero
The test of time has proven communism and national socialism have both failed and as Cicero again quotes “Any one can make a mistake only a fool Will persist.” I think that is a true statement in regards to governmental political systems that have been proven to be terrible exercises in human sacrifice. Face it, Marx and Engels were wrong, it was an idealized Utopia that never came to pass because of human vanity, all is Vanity in governmental systems that seek to kill and destroy the population that would support any system that comes to be.
