Then they let the authoritarians and dictators who claim to be socialists grow so they could point at it and say "See? Socialism bad!".
What they actually do is take countries where the system doesn't obey oil barons, rich landlords or private healthcare executives, and tell us how undemocratic they are for funding public healthcare, education and pensions without the consent of the fascists.
Incredible to me that in 2026 with the rise of the far right in the west, people still believe the "muh democruhzy" myth.
No, they don't. They label the ones that successfully survive as dictators so they can point and say socialism bad, but that's not accurate.
