    To be fair, those failed because capitalists took charge claiming to be socialists. Not saying there is a surefire way to prevent that from happening every time.

      Yes, because the revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat tears down the checks and balances that usually exist to avoid people grabbing power, and instead attracts power hungry people.

      A democratic gradual implementation of socialism is a much safer was to achieve many of the same outcomes, like what some European countries are doing.

        I need you to shut the fuck up until you investigate just a single fucking thing you say. “Achieve many of the same outcomes” just holy shit. Collaboration and liberation are the same if you really think about it!
