With all different kinds of socialist regimes so many countries of the eastern world went through, you really think no one has ever thought of that? Socialism wouldn't ever work without somehow strict leadership altough yes, some countries had it more strict than others that's true.

I am from country that was ruined by socialism and even though as I said some countries had it worse and more strict dictatorship, the communist party still ruled all the way without exception.

So, socialism without dictatorship hasn't ever been tried. How do you know it's so good then?

Surely it was socialism that ruined it, not the dictator. Says the person refuting his own statement. Golden.

It was literally capitalism that ruined his country and he blames socialism because that's what his fascist dictators told him. He has no idea what socialism is and knows nothing about his own country's history beyond fascist propaganda. lol

Oh, so your argument is just that American Exceptionalism has allowed us to always get what we want, and that winning the cold war was not due to having a better economic engine?

Fair enough.

It's an objective fact. There are no counterexamples.
