RE: Why Socialism Always Ends Up Deadly
Ahem...
Europe.
A number of nation states, including a number of Scandinavian nations as well as the Maltese Islands have enjoyed a few perks of Socialism.
True, they may not be 'pure' Socialist nations but my point is that it is not a fair representation of Socialism to exclusively associate such with failed nation states. There is another side to the coin - and I'd even go as far as to suggest that Socialism itself is not at the root of the reason those nations fall in the first place (and here I shall stay my hand from from taking a more direct dig at external forces).
The "socialist" countries in Europe are not on par with the socialism of Venezuela despite how much the politicians desire it.
I am curious. How would you say that socialist-leaning systems in some Western European nations does not quite put them on par with the likes of Venezuela?
