@lIlIIIIIIIlIl Canada does not have such a thing.

@AndrewMcFarlane_1 And socialism like every other collectivist idea does not believe in individual liberty or personal autonomy/agency.

LOL. <Why do they never fail to interfere with it?> What was Tanzania's excuse? Or Somalia's which actually had capitalist support? <Are people not dying of starvation in this capitalist South Africa?> South Africa is barely capitalist anymore thanks to the socialist ANC in charge.

And also the number of countries communism left bankrupt in its wake politically, economically, socially and spiritually.

@calmatic4254 Only for show while the economy suffered.

Socialism cannot sustain itself without tyranny or foreign aid.

@ciro_costa China started prospering when it ditched communism for capitalism and liberated its economy. Ditto for Vietnam and India.

@ciro_costa LOL. Mao had China on the brink of collapse by the time he died. It was Deng's economic reforms that spared China the fate of the USSR and other Soviet vassal states.
1
@ciro_costa No. The USSR fell, because the model was just no longer sustainable with declining oil revenues and increasing military budgets.

@ciro_costa India was not under sanctions as it was a neutral country and adopted free-market reforms after the Soviet aid dried up. Socialism did nothing for India except keep iy impoverished and stagnant for most of its post-independence history. <A capitalist market economy is extremely inneficient. It leads to cyclical crisis of overproduction.> A socialist planned economy is even more so as it often leads to underproduction and chronic shortages requiring foreign aid to make up for it. <A planned economy will always be superior. > LOL.

Judging the results they have produced, aside from rigged elections and a decidedly lower body count in the former, not at all.

China got its model from Singapore.

Public infrastructure and services =/= socialism.
1
Xi was a bad choice of leader as he's taking China back to the Mao era.
1
Exactly.
1
But socialism is even worse. Capitalism is the reason SA didn't go the way of Zimbabwe, Ethiopia.
1
LOL. Haiti post-Revolution did exactly that only to end up starving having to re-instate slavery just to feed itself again.
1
It actually worked in Seychelles. But even Seychelles moved on from it for capitalism.

Africa is a lot more socialist than it lets on. Even leaders who supposedly support capitalism love socialism due to the unrestricted power and control it grants them over the economy and in turn the people. It figures why politics is the #1 industry.

Socialism all but completely bankrupted Sweden in the 70's and it had to privatize a lot of its industries in the 80's.

@ciro_costa I see you don't value freedom as much as you value "free" stuff if it means letting whoever's providing it have their way with you in exchange.
1
@ciro_costa LOL.

<Plus you can't read pro capitalists articles and except to get unbiased information about socialism...> Just like you can't read pro-socialist articles and expect to get unbiased information about capitalism. It's amusing to see biased people accusing others of bias.
1
Fascism is communism's offspring.
1
Social programs and public services =/= socialism. <You seem to keep forgetting that in order to develop a country you need social (SOCIALIST) programs such as free education/food/money/housing for the poor in order to have tax payers as well as a working population in the future.> No. To develop a country, what you need is economic development and an environment that allow people to earn an honest living as either entrepreneurs or workers.

Also: Francisco Macias Nguema (Equatorial Guinea) Mohamed Siad Barre (Somalia) Mobutu Sese Seko (DRC/Zaire) don't let the US support fool you. He wasn't anti-communist. He was just anti-USSR as he idolized Mao and adopted Chinese-styled communism.

Tanzania, Madagascar, Mongolia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, East Germany, Poland, Benin.
