No goalposts have been moved here. If there's moderate to significant success, and extreme failures, most people wouldn't consider that a success to cite. When you increase literacy, and establish a model universal healthcare system, but also kill and imprison millions of your own people, that's not gonna get it done. If you did the latter without the former, THAT'S undeniable success. every attempt at socialism had successes, challenges, and things we can learn from. basing your conversations on US propaganda isn't going to move things forward Bad things that absolutely should not be repeated happened under the USSR, acknowledging them is not basing conversations on US propaganda. If you can't acknowledge and explain that, why should anyone believe you won't repeat those mistakes? The whole name of the game is to keep the good stuff from prior socialist experiments and abandon the bad stuff. To do that, you have to actually acknowledge and have a rational explanation for why the bad stuff happened and why you are presenting something different so that it won't reoccur. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. ...
