But...but read Das Kapital....We need to try it for real this time! LOL

Dozens of shining examples of nations broken upon the altar of communism and socialism(in a few years-decades) mean nothing to these people. All systems break, all empires fall, yet we see many nations rise to their zenith over hundreds of years(pretty darn good) under commercial republics.

America, Rome, Carthage, Venice to name a few. Nothing is perfect.
