Why are socialists unfazed by their abysmal historical record?
The rise of the Democratic Socialists of America has made it clear that socialism endures, even after a century of catastrophic failure. There has never been a successful socialist country, but American socialists have won many of their biggest victories yet this year, most recently in Michigan.
TL;DR
- Socialism persists despite a century of catastrophic failure.
- American socialists have achieved significant victories, including recently in Michigan.
- Their platform includes substantial public (state) ownership.
- This aligns with principles from "The Communist Manifesto" regarding state control of production.
- Socialists' lack of concern about their historical record is attributed to utopianism and relativism on the Left.
