But it was never real socialism. It's like chasing unicorns. They hate capitalism, but they don't know what that is either. These people are being manipulated and they don't know it. Unseful idiots. Political zombies.

"Real socialims has never been tried." More leftist whack-a-mole logic. The definitions of words change mid-argument.

Please point out any country you consider socialist past or present. You can't just keep pointing at unicorns.

Pick any socialist economy past or present. Argentina, Venszuela. Socialist light, France, GB, Spain. Slow growth, little inovation, poverty, stagnation, budget deficits. They are all mostly the same. Free health care that isn't there, but it's free if you can find it.

This is just semantics. USSR had an economy based on money. All socialist countries have economies based on money or some kind of vouchers. Trade is universal. Socialists economies just have more central control. They all have blackmarkets also because socialist econmomies are inherently inefficient. Instead of markets they have beaurocratic waste and corruption. Please study the economies of any socialsit conuntry. They are all the same.
