“Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.... Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea -- in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ”
Dr Thomas Sowell Phd

Just like Communism, which has never been conduct the way true Communism was meant to be. True Communism has never been attempted.

With socialism there always has to be a gang in control to tell the rest of us how to live. Be mindful that gang is not about to give up their jets, suv's, lavish dinners and worldwide vacation homes and parties where they praise one another on the wonderful job they've done.
