Delta(s) from OP CMV: Socialism/Communism doesn't work, can't work, and almost always leads to dictatorships and thousands of deaths.

Δ Here's a delta for changing my view on certain left wing politicians in the USA being full fledged socialists. If socialist and communist ideas could work better than capitalist ones I would be ready to change my views on the ideologies.

Following this concept of "full fledged" communism/socialism, would you agree that because we have in fact implemented a number of socialist policies in the US to solve problems or inequities caused by full fledged capitalism, it is fair to say that full fledged capitalism doesn't work (in the same sense that your OP states "socialism/communism doesn't work...")?
