You lose.

Bemused giggles. Your assertion of any fact is questionable by definition.

When it comes to historical interpretations, I suspect your assertions as being even more questionable than usual.

Sorry you're not happy with yet another documented failure of socialism (or, as it's often called today, modern liberalism).

Acorn, you are full of shit.

Socialism fails everywhere it is applied for good reasons. I'm not a fucking socialist in any way, shape or form - but that is entirely lost upon your perfect partisan ideology that holds that anyone who thinks you are an idiot is a socialist by definition.

And it is your partisan ideologues that like to pretend that liberalism is socialism. I suppose it is a good strategy to hide the fact that conservativism is becoming little more than reactionary fascism.

And it is super important for all conservatives to hide the fact that almost every value that non-religious conservatives hold dear is pure liberalism. All the foul-mouthed rightwing pundits on the planet can't change that.

But I can't help it that it failed. You're free, of course, to do all the "research" you want, to try to prove that a failure wasn't a failure. But your time might be better spent finding what methods succeed.

No, I don't waste my time looking to cherry-pick factoids to 'prove' my opinions.

I study issues and make reasoned conclusions. A radical concept to you I'm sure.

Indeed, I should have looked to see who posted this thread before bothering to read it.
