I don’t argue. But what did unchecked Socialism achieve? Between them, Mao and Stalin killed more people in the 20th century that anything else (perhaps more than everything else combined ?).I don’t recall seeing any third world countries ‘saved’ by communist / socialist regimes. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I do see Russian involvement in Syria, and Chinese buying up agriculture and mineral lands in Africa, but none have any socialist motive.I know that is not the socialism you have in mind, hence the phrase ‘unchecked socialism’... and hence my belief that a centralist capitalist system (ie, left of what we currently see in several countries) is the least bad system we’ve got. Currently.People have idealised a socialist paradise ever since Platos ‘Republic’... unfortunately humans can’t seem to make it work, or at least have failed to do so in the last 2,000 years...
