Our chances of running a socialist style govt are slim with the vast network globally of neoliberal pirates sacking every community at will and literally bombing some countries with governments working for the common good.
But China, Vietnam and a few others are emerging with strong systems of public good arising out of throwing out the colonial scum that divided the population, fostered the elite and raped the resources, while feigning “Democracy and Freedom”
After the Russian revolution communist parties strengthened in the UK and USA scaring hell out of the wealthy ruling “elite” and so the viscous campaign of push-back began. Communist sympathetic organisations were infiltrated and the witch hunt included public propaganda against the revolution and all it stood for.
