Those experiments wouldn't fail if the motherfuckers that you want in office wouldn't be fucking couping us every 5 seconds. Why don't you name me one fucking example of a socialist state in South America that wasn't either couped, blockaded, or something else? Fucking mask off, you fascist.

You assume to know who I want in office.

I'm a centrist.

The further left or right you go, the worse it gets.

The cold war wasn't fought by just one side.

There aren't goodies or baddies, there are cunts on both sides.

Sure, but in the specific case of Latin American socialism, every so-called experiment got couped by the good old U S of A. Hell, you can't even say that these socialist states were aligned with the USSR, because many of them weren't.

repeated failed government experiments in socialism

This statement lacks that context. Meanwhile, Nordic countries have shown that some levels of socialism are strongly advantageous.

The Nordic model is the best one. But it's not socialism, they are social democracies.

Most of those "socialist experiments" in Latin America were also democracies, so it fits.
