Yes, socialism is a process

For the worse, yes. We can't seem to convince naive people to give it up.

Certainly in socialist Canada

Canada nor "Sweden" is socialist. They, like all western democratic societies (including the US) are market capitalist economies where the wealth generated is used for social programs. You need to study history more brother.

Your Venezuela propaganda bullshit is obviously pathetic to anyone who knows anything about it. Get the CIA....

Yeah because the CIA were in Venezuela telling Chavez to centrally plan their economy and let the technocrats control everything until they fucked up and made life miserable for millions. ROFL. I'm sure the CIA did stupid shit like all government bureaucrats do. But the idea that they fucked up Venezuela any more than their idiot government did is redonculous.

I also notice you have no comment on Lysenkoism which killed millions and is inevitable when you hand massive powers to unaccountable bureaucrats.

I live in socialist Canada. In some ways more than its ever been, in some less.

MSM want's people like you to keep spouting how socialism and communism are equivalent but they aren't.

Since you think the CIA is so ineffective then perhaps you can explain away all the other shit they've done over the last century, including controlling the MSM and brainwashing folks like you into believing they're just some benevolent secret agency. The CIA controls ALL the Dems and has a hand in all their SJW commie BLM agendas.

I'll tell you why I didn't comment on Lysenkoism. Because it's a big fancy word that guys like you think makes them seem smart. You can call me a Luddite or science-denier if you want to but IMO the proven worse danger is Scientism - as I'd explained. I didn't know I actually had to spell all that out for you.

In fact, your fancy term reminded me of another fancy term, Malthusianism, an actually useful term that The Myth Of The 20th Century guys often use (I think you'd actually like their podcast as I do):

Canada is not Socialist. It's a mixed market economy. https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/denmark-tells-bernie-sanders-to-stop-calling-it-socialist/
