I use Serbia as an example, for a reason.
Smidge TV is a supporter of communist systems.
(He loves to come and chat on my feed. He's Serbian.)
Apart from the mentally ill - or psychopathic and sociopolitical individual....
WHO would support a political doctrine, if the price of the 'success' of the doctrine was the deaths of one eighth of a countries population?
What sick mind would find that number as acceptable, to 'prove' a system works?
Who would look at these numbers, and even try to find an argument, to defend it as a good idea?
Who would argue that the destruction of populations on this scale in the name of a political ideology- is a good idea?
Who would argue that a 'failed socialist system' should be tried YET again , when all evidence points to massive population deaths of a nation, starvation, and terror?
The Germans population suffered less than half as many casualties during WW2.... than communist Russia inflicted on its own peoples...
Socialism + time = Communism.

Relevance:Communism Is An Evil Ideology
Our Purpose
Well Yugoslavia under communism was much better than what happened to the country under the NATO sponsored Oslo peace process.
As much as I hate communism there is no doubt in my mind that Yugoslavia was a good place to live. I base this on the yugos I knew in the early nineties.
Tito though a socialist dictator truly cared about his country.
No matter how evil an ideology is some people belonging to it will still maintain their morality.
Yugoslavia is an exception that in no way disproves the rule.
Communism Doubleplusungood
I would totally agree with you.
Socialism in the USA made it a good place to live for decades, arguably since 1940 ish - It doesn't make it sustainable as an economic system.
The baby boomers hit 'the purple patch' in all of human history for easy living - it doesn't make it sustainable as a system, and any baby boomers defending it, are only looking at it from there tiny patch of time..
Does that illustrate my point..?
Communism by its very structure lends itself to the most talented at manipulation, the worst personality types - to rise to the top.
Morality at the top is where it matters more than anywhere..
I agree with your first point,
but my whole point was that Tito (the Guy at the top) was beneficial to his country despite the socialism.
Just like Trujillo was a dictator but he protected the trees of the Dominican Republic which is flourishing especially compared with the other half of the island Haiti.
I am not disagreeing with that- but ultimately- if you are not changing away m afrosocialist system, you are not doing good for your country- long term..
UK, USA, and the rest are equally guilty..
Total Agreement here.
but THIS time they'll do it RIGHT!
..of course they will...
socialism is what's hurting the United States.
we're doing it WRONG.
it's never happened YET in history.
when socialism takes hold...it's a death sentence for the country
why are they 'rising'
define 'most'.
who is their main customer?
Socialist economies typically have a life cycle of approx. 100 years or less. They may very well 'do good' for a few decades, but it eventually creates disparity.

You have a minor grammatical mistake in the following sentence:
It should be its own instead of it's own.👍
Really? Can you explain that to me it seems to me that "it's" implies ownership in this sentence as opposed to the "it's" that is a contraction of "it is"
"but if it was ME in Stalin's shoes..." etc. etc. ;)
Dr. Peterson responds to this argument beautifully...
That all sounds about .....100% CORRECT...
Serbia? I know that...lol
What never happened..? do please tell ...
Answer the question? Struggling with reality? lol
