I don't understand the reason for the downvotes. Explain your point instead of downvoting. By the way, I'm from a country (social context) full of Venezuelans and many people from Cuba and Nicaragua. They know what happens with this kind of approach.
Regarding your point, what you said about competing with capitalism in terms of technological development is interesting. So maybe, in my opinion and being open to what you have to say, we need better alternatives.

I didn't downvote you BTW, I never downvote, I either upvote or don't vote at all.

Socialism as a regieme, for one, doesn't have a bad name like communism does, and two, has been tried, but in a lot fewer countries than communism has. So, regarding that, I get why many liberal americans are pro socialism, but against communism (even though, there aren't that many differences, except tye authorotorian nature of communism, but they already have that with their corps, just too blind to actually see it).

As I said, I've lived in both socialism and capitalism (no one ever notices that the first one is a socio-economic order, but the second one is just an economic order ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ˜, the social order is democracy ๐Ÿ˜‚), and socialism was a lot better from a lot of aspects. Sure, it wasn't perfect, there are things that can be made better, but than again, nothing is perfect. What I do firmly believe though is that socialism combined with something like the Venus Project, can make foundations for a great society that actually values human life and everything alive on this earth.
