Examples of socialism working well? Various types and degrees of socialism are working well all over the planet, ranging from the communal sharing of certain indigenous peoples, to the adaptations one sees in Scandinavian countries and elsewhere in Europe. Toss the political rhetoric and just look. The common citizens are secure, at least until the innumerable world corporatists plotting to blow them out of the water succeed. And they will. They can’t lose. Capitalist corporations have a grip on the world’s monetary system, and most importantly, the means of production to supply the world’s human needs. Especially in the so-called “advanced countries.” People everywhere salute advancement. And world’s corporate cartels get to define advancement. To them advancement is the degree of cheap unnecessary crap you can ram down the people’s throats, and how much you can blackmail human beings for such things as health care. Not to mention convince them that the rest of the world is not safe, that it is not made up of ordinary folks who just wanna raise families, screw and sleep well at nights, but rather is full of murderous heathens out to enslave the local Cub Scout Troop and blow up the neighborhood 7-Eleven.
