Venezuela seems to be example number 8 million of true leftist/socialist/communist/Marxist intent.
Gain power, destroy your country's economy, murder and/or imprison any political opposition, end in a bloodbath of killing your own people in mass.
But I forget, it's all about inequality and oppression and kind-heartedness, right?

Utopianism eventually leads to mass murder.

The USSR broke up without much violence.

If they didn't insist on being a military power, would they have ever existed?

It surely didn't start out that way

Sure. Eventually the people would realize how shitty their existence really was.
You can't have socialism without crushing your own people

Historically, the United States has been one of the most left leaning countries in the world.

By left leaning, what do you mean here?
Are we "historically" more left leaning that China, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Sweden, Denmark, The UK?
You can't be serious.

Democratic governments with capitalist economies are not "full blown leftists"

Yes. It may have taken another two decades but they would have collapsed. The population was done with collectivist economics by the 1980s
