Name me one country where socialism has failed that wasn't first attacked by the US, militarily or economically, overtly or covertly.
Name me one country where a socialist govt hasn't been subject to sustained propaganda & systemic undermining & attacks from the right wing media, wealthy corporations & the status quo led & funded by the US conglomerate of vested interests in keeping socialism's benefits for the many out of the political arena & out of the people's consciousness.

“As the writer Andre Vltchek has assessed, ’Anti-communism is a fundamentalist religion, now followed by billions.’ The claims that support this religion are believed through a sense of faith, and the religion’s endgame is appropriately an apocalyptic one; we’re meant to accept whatever catastrophic events that capitalism produces, no matter how deadly and destructive, because to choose the side of communism would be to choose ‘the condition of Evil.’ “It’s a fundamentally nihilistic position, one that rationalizes the continued descent into corporate-engineered doomsday as the price we must pay for fighting communism. It can’t be the view that defines this century. We must work to advance the struggle for anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, and communist liberation, which involves countering the lies of those who stand against these goals.” The dishonest nihilism of anti-communist propaganda medium.com/@rainershea612/the-dishonest-nihilism-of-anti-communist-propaganda-d98895c3635

"But socialism has never worked!" Apart from in 1945 when Attlee built the NHS, welfare state & council houses, nationalised industry, reached full employment & turned a 250% deficit into a surplus.

The Labour Files all in one place dorseteye.com/the-labour-files-all-in-one-place/Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit) has obtained the largest leak in British political history, exposing how unelected officials undermined democracy within the Labour Party. The leaked data comprises 500 gigabytes of documents, emails, video and audio files from the Labour Party dating from 1998 to 2021. The I-Unit will be releasing a series of reports on the leaked files over the coming week. The data reveals how the party’s bureaucrats, whose nominal function is to serve the interests of the party, attempted to undermine members supportive of Jeremy Corbyn, Labour’s leader from 2015 to 2020. Until his election as party leader in September 2015, Corbyn was a little-known figure in British politics, active in grassroots activism, from the anti-war movement to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The first unequivocally socialist leader of the party since the 1980s, he rode a wave of popular discontent against the political establishment, standing on a platform of public ownership of key industries, a strengthened welfare state, and an end to the austerity measures imposed by the Conservative government at that time. The Labour Files show, however, that inside the Labour Party discontent was brewing, leading to internal battles over which side of the party – the left-wing “Corbynites” or the pre-2015 centrists – would have control. Parts 1-3 brings the reality of the right wing pro establishment Labour party home to roost.
