Alex,
You are only doing the thing socialist have done for the past two
hundred years is to try to move toward the abstract and change the
definitions to give yourself another shot at gaining control over another
group of victims.
Of course all those countries you have tried to define away were
socialists. They not only defined themselves as socialist at the time but
all over the world socialist in every country defined them as socialist and
apologized, lied or explained away their failures until they (usually)
collapsed of their own weight from lack of support by their own citizenry.
When the record of those countries became an open secret and a scandal to the
blue jays then a fresh crop of socialist started defining them away as you
are attempting to do now -- it won't work.
I say this to you -- those miserable excuses for a human government
are yours. If you wish to do something acknowledge your failures and tell us
how you are going to guarantee not to repeat the same mistakes in the future.
Right now, the rest of us know how we are going to avoid a repetition, we
are going to avoid socialists.
