Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I must admit my comment was a bit snarky. Your reply caused me to do some more research. I do agree that Stalinism, Maoism, Nazism are not anywhere close to socialism or Marxism. But you used the word "crushed" twice, unfortunately both of your examples were ended before in my opinion could be considered as being tried. Yes, I'm more of capitalist than socialist, and I am fascinated by the Anarchists. I would like to see a realistic attempt at socialism, just not where I live. And I'd like to see a number of attempts. I too am dark on humanity, that's why I'm a capitalist.
