The absolute cope.
You didn't answer the question. Plus, the matter is too complex. It wasn't just because of socialism that the URSS collapsed. We have socialists countries that suffer from the blockades of USA running way better than capitalists countries.
The scandivania countries, which bernie sanders fan gasm over, are capitalist. Nearly every country is capitalist and that arent are shitholes like North Korea and Venzeuala
If you think socialism can solve those issues when It reality led to famines in China and Russia, and acts of mass killings in cambodia then your retarded
The way it was conducted, yeah. I'm not saying I'm 100% sure it can solve these issues, but I'm way more open minded than you, that get stuck to "mah capitalism is perfect despite all the homeless and all the starving ppl". The difference is that you settle for it and don't care for improvement because it likely doesn't affect you --- the system doesn't affect you.
