I'm not even saying sources that we could check on, just *SOMETHING*. If you
don't, and won't, then don't be surprised if people suspect the worst.

Now Charles,
       I really don't think folks are going to suspect the worse of me if I
don't give you a long list of sources to cherry pick. There is an old, old
rule of law that says we don't have to be so objective that we require
evidence to know that the Sun comes up in the morning.
       For those that read my contributions to this exchange have read the
same accusations in their daily papers for the past forty years or so,
depending on their age. They have heard me quote various authors and books
in support of my position.
       They have also heard me ask you (plural, you have supporters)
repeatedly to come down to Earth and point to countries that you regard as
socialist without trying to explain away the ones that are an embarrassment
to you.
       After all I am not the one trying to prove something. I only want you
to show us a decent socialist country and explain how you will prevent the
situation you had in Germany, Italy, the USSR, China, Viet Nam, Cambodia,
Chile, Cuba, etc. I know some of those are ongoing but I got lazy in my
sentence construction. I also know that list is not exhaustive. You have a
long long list of deadly failures.
