Which nations are you referring to? Considering socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are socially-owned, can you...name one that instituted such a system? I am not aware of any such nations. I can think of plenty of nations that attempted to break free from global capitalism via transitional state-planning, but I don't know of any that actually implemented a socially-owned economy. Which nations do you know of that had socially-owned economies?

This may help you -- USSR, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, Plymouth, Massachusetts in the 1620s, Jamestown, Nazi Germany, the list goes on

So you are genuinely trying to tell me that: "USSR, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, Plymouth, Massachusetts in the 1620s, Jamestown, Nazi Germany" had socially-owned economic systems..? Do you know what "socially-owned" means? It should be self-explanatory, but it means that society itself owns the economy. Are you under the impression that every North Korean citizen shares ownership of the North Korean economy? Every Russian citizen shared ownership of the USSR economy? Every German citizen shared ownership of the Nazi economy? I thought you claimed they were dictatorships, now you're telling me they were socially-owned..? Which is it?

They are dictatorships BECAUSE they were socially owned. I surprised your so stupid you haven't heard of the collective farms of the USSR -- everyone shared land equally, the collective wealth and resources. And it made starvation, it made dictatorship. Happened in Plymouth, when they shared all the labour of the farming equally, but what ended up happening was no one got motivated to do anything since they'd get food anyway? Result? No one got food. SOCIALLY OWNED, right there. Difference between us and the Pilgrims is that they LEARNED from their mistakes, while suckers like you keep making them.

So you don't know what a dictatorship is then either..? That's pretty embarrassing, dude. You're definitely going to have to come up with a good argument as to how "democratic ownership by everyone" is dictatorial lol.

A dictatorial system is definitionally and fundamentally one in which a single individual holds sole decision-making power over a group of people. If the entire group of people share equal ownership and decision-making power...then it is definitionally NOT dictatorial. Not sure where you're coming up with these bad takes, but it doesn't look good for you when you claim nonsense like that lol...
