There are hundreds of millions of people on this planet who lived under variants of socialism ranging from dreary (Britain) to pure nightmare fuel (Cambodia), but none of that apparently counts as socialism because it was bad. This irks me about the American left

Replying to @PoTheBarbarian
Who says it isn't? There's lots to gripe about with capitalism, but at least it can make a microchip. Socialism has uniformly failed as an economic experiement, and it's better to refocus energy on fixing what works.

What makes you think socialists aren't trying to fix what works? Keep the markets, get rid of the interests that are causing millions to starve in famines in Yemen

I have no quarrel with anyone who is advocating fixing what we have, vs. starting over from scratch. Keep markets and pluralist democracy and I'll sign up for anything
