It will work here in the US because we're such a rich country already so there's plenty of money to spread around.

The only way it works (and not very well, at that) is with the threat of violence.
The socialist freeloaders laid up until noon every day who want guns confiscated, would get a crash course on the Second Amendment. But too late...

Venezuela found out what all socialist states eventually learn. When you try to make everyone equal the truly talented people get the hell out and you end up much worse off.

No no no that was socialism. What we want is democratic socialism. In regular socialism the government owns the means of production and businesses although aren’t owned by their owners anymore, get to keep 20% of what they make. But in democratic socialism you still get to own businesses but the government taxes you at a rate of 80%. It’s much different and if you don’t understand you are dumb.

Saw that exact scenario in play out in Venezuela in 2011-2013 with a friend. Took her (University Professor) almost 2 years to get out... smuggled through Columbia. Landed in Valencia Spain and is quite wealthy now owning her own business.

Some wack-job professor was saying it’s because the other capitalist countries always work to undermine these socialist paradises.

It’s funny how the party of science always seems to forget about the basic human instincts.
It’s human nature to want more. It’s been going on since the dawn of man. Socialism will never work because there will always someone who wants more and will do whatever is necessary to get to the top of food chain so to speak and keep the others down. Sure Socialist claim this what they’re trying to prevent and will swear it’s what capitalism will lead to, but there’s a reason why so many in ivory towers are pushing for socialism.

They may self-deport to a non-extradition country once discoveries about their mistreatment of women/men/children/all of the above are eventually made.

Yeah and then compare them to the USA you fricking moron. Also they have almost no growth and within the next 10 years all of their economies will collapse.

They also have the good ole USA to thank for military spending and defense seeing as we've been footing the bill for the past few decades.
Imagine if they had to spend on their own defense?

And we (liberals) are much smarter than our brothers in Venezuela, so we will get it right this time..

You mean an economic model built on transferring resources from the most productive people to the least productive people doesn't work?
Hmmmm... I'll have to mull that over.
