While I like the idea of socialism to an extent, it hardly has an appealing track record.

Not from “the west” from “the rich”. There are rich people in every type of economy that use their money to gain more power. One of the many ways that is done is with propaganda to convince those with less that the rich in power are not the problem.
Just look at the oligarchs in Russia.

fuck you tankie shithead COMMUNISM WILL NEVER RULE ESTONIA AGIAN
I left reddit for Lemmy because I was fed up with how auth-left that site was becoming. I thought that Lemmy, being still new would be better balanced and less hostile for a regular pro-market classical liberal like me.
And this is the level of shit I find in here. Fuck ya'll I'm out.

Do you guys realize the world is larger than the memeverse and there are real people who lived under "socialist" governments?
Jesus H. Christ, all you need my dear is a holiday in Cambodia.
I may not want the USSR at all, but a large majority of Russians want it back: https://www.statista.com/chart/7322/25-years-soviet-union-collapse-ussr/
Now, a large part of this is also obviously due to wanting to be a part of a more powerful state, which the USSR was in comparison to the Russian Federation, but this point isn't great. I could make the same point and say that we should send pro-Capitalists to Somalia, it just doesn't work well logically.
