Holy hell this is a good read, if I stumbled upon this earlier I might not had a mental breakdown. So much dissonance and thoughts I have had has been put into perspective reading this. I really did not understand the difference between materialism and idealism until today and now I have a better understanding of dialectical materialism, thank you.
Have to get past American and western interventionism to figure it out. But socialism lifted millions out of poverty look at Chinese and Russian history. Both countries went from feudal and monarchal society to industrial powers houses lead by peasants and workers, rivaling the United States in mere decades. So I’d say yes socialism does work. Also both those societies went from a near totally illiterate society to a 100 % total literacy within a generation. Free healthcare, housing, education and unemployment was non existent. Just to name some more achievements of socialism.
