I tell you... if socialists were given a whole country, a big one, so they could develop their "real" socialism, it would end up in a civil war, a dictatorship, or probably would evolve into capitalism which is our human nature.
Later they would start claiming it wasnt real socialism for whatever reason, would blame someone else and start again to advocate for the "new" real socialism.
Its a neverending cicle, just like dark souls, but darker.

I tell you... if capitalists were given a whole kingdom, a big one, so they could develop their "real" capitalism, it would end up in a civil war, a dictatorship, or probably would evolve into feudalism which is our human nature. Later they would start claiming it wasn't real capitalism for whatever reason, would blame someone else and start again to advocate for the "new" real capitalism.

Wow! My fundamental beliefs regarding Socialism has been shaken. I was a "Socialism is evil" guy until I read this. I just realized that an extreme version of Capitalism or Socialism is equally bad. 

Pure version of Capitalism will devolved into Corporatism because of human nature 

Pure version of Socialism will devolved into Dictatorship because of human nature

A mixture of both is far better.
