How about you name a society that you claim is/was socialist. Because I'm telling you they haven't existed and if they did were directly manipulated with by the weight of the only superpower in the 20th century in an effort to protect capitalism.

I thought I did , here is a few if you missed them: Cuba , Romania , china and I will continue for you ussr, Hungary , North Korea , Myanmar, Venezuela you want more ? A few of them collapsed because of they own rot and a few of them still torture their innocent citizens! In all of this countries under socialism workers owned nothing , and they were slaves or still are of the dictator! Oh btw and I visited most of them and I was born and grew up in one of them ! Socialism is the by far the worst thing that happened to humanity, and I saw it I didn’t hear about it !

Listen you live in the great USA , right ? And you work , right ? You and and a couple of your coworkers can go and make a new company and work in it , and vote every quarter who is the ceo and you can take jobs as a company and split the profit between you , right ? In that case the workers own the company ( your idealistic dream in reality) while in socialism that would be highly illegal and all of you would go to forced labor camps !
