The worst thing is that he claims to sympathize with Socialism, but he does it from a country where things work... If you like Socialism, go to Cuba and live there day to day with your family, or go to Venezuela and not the capitals. , you go to another city far from the capital and feel the true socialist feeling... Don't come to me and shout praises to socialism when you live somewhere in the world where what you know about socialism you have seen on TV (silly box) or on the Internet or in a book. Come to a truly socialist country and live it. We will talk in 10 years to see if you still think the same, and now really having a solid basis to be able to build your defensive argument against one of the greatest Plagues of humanity "Socialism". And I know that if you live it and are a thinking and awake being you will never believe in Socialism in your life...

I agree, many failed countries are socialist.
Yet, if OP lives in a country that works which happens to have a majority of socialist policies, doesn't that give him the right to believe in socialist policies?
In such a scenario, the reason those countries are failed countries might not be solely because of socialism.
Cuba is communist. That's not socialism.
Many Latin American countries are socialist. The current status of those countries is mostly due to the American Military-Industrial Complex. They never stood a chance. Destroyed at every turn by the CIA.
Anyhow. Nuance is key in any discussion. We would probably have much in common in a different setting.
