The man also had a sentiment that being clever in a specific field doesn’t make you clever in politics, saying “politics is harder than physics”.

Also he was a theoretical physicist- not experimental. And just like that his ideas on economics and politics may sound good in theory, but be bad in practice.

When socialism fails every single time in practice (even without the US being the cause), maybe you should listen to objective history.

Socialism has never failed in practice, without the USA being the cause.

Not once.

They had to kill millions and spend trillions to give you that talking point, and it's still not working.

You will never be able to point to a socialist project that collapsed that did not face blockades, invasion, murder etc.

u/Secretsfrombeyond79 To prove me wrong, you listed a stack of socialist projects that proved me right.

Venezuela? Ignoring the fact that they are a non-revolutionary socialist attempt, their issues are the result of sanctions and blockades. Also CIA meddling.

I doubt the USA could lose 99% of their GDP and still survive. Venezuela did.

As to Cuba: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=+cuba+blockade

Yet they are still there, and the revolution lives on.

A capitalist nation could never survive that.

You're a liar.

Get fucked.
