While i do understand the pitfalls of Socialism, calling it

The worst mistake of the 20th century

Is, to put it frankly, the worst mistake of the 21st century.

THE NAZIS WERE THERE THEY WERE FASCISTS, ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT WASN'T THE WORST MISTAKE HONESTLY BETTER JUST TELL ME THEY ARE SIDING WITH THEM.

All of their hypotheses about causation and order—where these oppressions come from, how they will change, how to change them—are worse than trash. They are either phrased in a way that is pseudo-scientific and untestable, which helps explain why Marxism has held increasing appeal among leftwing cults the more Marxist experiments proved to be real life failures (cults thrive on pseudo-sciences). Or, their affirmations about the future of capitalism and how to change it that were phrased in a falsifiable, testable way have all proven dreadfully wrong. Exactly as their anarchist contemporaries predicted.

Boom!
