      Humans could never support actual real socialism. We are corrupt dicks and would always figure out a way to exploit it for personal gain. Some form of hybrid system involving some degree of greed(capitalism) will probably always be required.

                When has capitalism killed fascists without being backed by socialism, under a government that is the closest America has ever been to being a social democracy?

                Especially compared to its preferred modus operandi, supporting the fascists and assassinating union organizers.

                  The easy answer there is World War Two started 1 September 1939 and the soviets got involved 17 September of that year.

                  Now I’m sure you’ll answer my question, right?

                    I don’t consider “rat fucking the Spanish Republic, unlike the socialists” and “getting absolutely bodied in Poland and France” to be “killing fascists,” but yes, I did, twice now.

                    I’ll give you this though.

                    It was ultimately a capitalist that killed Hitler.

      Hum I would disagree.

      First of all worker coops are pretty much everywhere. I could go to college for free and have healthcare because socialists who organized large scale strikes (they sometime then proceed to get shot by operation gladio). And then, quite a lot of country still pretend to be socialists. Oftentime with very real mutualities who actually helps people.
