Yawwwwn....
You're too concerned with what other people on this site think of you to be what you actually claim to be. Also, people who make very good money don't go around degrading others for having less resources. That's one of several ways where you give yourself away.
Next time don't try too hard.

The government took control of all privately owned businesses in those countries?
Three Nations That Tried Socialism and Rejected It
Socialists are fond of saying that socialism has never failed because it has never been tried. But in truth, socialism has failed in every country in which it has been tried, from the Soviet Union beginning a century ago to three modern countries that tried but ultimately rejected...

The Soviets have practiced rather extreme socialism and that really didn't work, and the USA so far is still capitalistic with some socialism...for now at least.Three Nations That Tried Socialism and Rejected It

Go figure that a libertarian group funded by corporate donations that lobbies for public policy on behalf of large corporations would be against socialist policies…Three Nations That Tried Socialism and Rejected It

So those countries were never socialist, they had turned that direction but reversed courseThree Nations That Tried Socialism and Rejected It

China hasn't been brought up yet, they're as government controlled as you get? Uruguay has considered itself socialist for a long time now

Uruguay may have a socialist party but they are not socialist. Not sure if you're implying that Uruguay is a socialist success but I wouldn't consider a country with a miniscule population of 3.5M to be an example of how well socialism can endure. I've lived in cities where the population of the town alone was close to that number. It's barely a third of the population of NYC.
Look at the more densely populated areas throughout the world where socialism always fails for obvious reasons. You try to use a an example like Uruguay which really doesn't apply since it's the second wealthiest nation in South America due to its very successful exportation economy. Both factors synergistically feed off of one another. Booming exportation business + small population = highest GDP per capita for all of South America. Uruguay's success has nothing to do with socialism. Look at Venezuela for a more concise example of how socialism fails. At best, Uruguay is a mixed economy but they only became successful, in the first place, by capitalistic means.

Look at Venezuela as another example of why you don't want to go against the Petro dollar.

And Uruguay doesn't count because it has a booming export economy? I guess China doesn't count either since it makes so much money on exports

You've established a fallacious pattern of trying to dismantle people's viewpoints that don't align with your own simply for not being a socialism funded source. Well, what pro-socialist organization is actually going to admit to socialism failing? How foolish can you be?
And what's wrong with being libertarian? Is that evil in your eyes, too?
Dude, the more you bicker the more you reveal what a staunch socialist you are.

I voted conservative in our last election, but please do carry on with your armchair psychology. I enjoy watching you be wrong and laughing at your knee-jerk, poorly constructed interpretations of my comments.
I didn’t say that there was anything wrong with being a libertarian, Goober. How did you even take that from what I said? I implied that it’s a forgone conclusion that a libertarian think-tank funded by corporate donations will have a problem with socialism. Just like an article written by a trade union leader would almost certainly be critical of deregulation of labor laws.
My point was, since you don’t seem to get subtlety, that articles written by groups with a vested interest in a particular conclusion are highly suspect and need to be taken with a shaker of salt.

Dude, for being such a tiny country in comparison Uruguay has a GDP 1.5 times higher than China's. The only reason China's export business is comparable is due to the fact the world outsources their products to be made there due to cheap labor. They're a shithole and they make crap that doesn't last.
Nice try. Speaking of China, does anyone remember the chain of suicides that made headlines due to workers assembling your gadgets like smartphones, etc were being worked to death in what are basically concentration camp like settings?

Everyone has an agenda. Whether it's considered good or bad, some of us are more transparent and honest about it than others.
Interesting thing about foxcon is that for the amount of people they employ the actual suicide rates aren’t all that significant.
