Is the left running out of socialist Utopias?

Asked by josie (30934points) March 1st, 2011

Soviet Union-gone

Western Europe-broke

Social Security, Medicare-doomed (but currently in denial)

Public Employees Unions-getting pushed hard by taxpayers who want to fund their own retirements, and pay their own medical expenses instead of somebody else’s.
And legislators in Wisconsin running in fear, rather than making a stand.

Once people believed that they could make gold from lead. They tried for centuries, realized eventually that they could not, and, perhaps reluctantly, gave up.

Similarly, is this about it for the hapless socialist Utopia?
