    Appreciate thoughtful answer. No surprise people downvoting. I kind of expected that. Easy to reject different world view vs engaging into discussion.

    I hope one group of people can implement some kind of successful socialism model. My personal experience, growing up as a teenager in exUSSR, was pretty bleak. Yes, everyone could get a basic job. But vast majority of the people were poor. Not starving but not too far to what you see now in North Korea documentaries. Those in the ruling party were living a bit better, yet still incomparable to middle class Western citizens. I am not even mentioning that one could end up in jail for basic critique of the government.
