Why millennials are drawn to socialism

[Edwardo Piet]

I kind of wonder if Communism can be put into practice as intended.

Me too maybe it isn't possible. But like I said, that doesn't mean it's been tried. If someone gets a cartoon version of an idea and tries it out you can't say the uncartoonized original was tried.

And, to be pedantic, an imperfect 'version' of something technically isn't the same thing. So yes, indeed, I do not expect the perfect version of something to be tried. But still, the perfect solution fallacy is the idea that either there is a perfect solution or no solution at all. That doesn't imply that if you get an imperfect solution then you've tried out the perfect solution. Perhaps the perfect solution doesn't exist... but that sure as hell doesn't mean it's been tried, lol. But if it does exist, then perhaps it could be tried. Either way, it makes no sense to say that an idea has been tried if something different, even slightly different, was tried. An altered version of X is not X.

The idea that the imperfect version has exactly the same flaws as the perfect version and failed for the exact same reason... well that is an assertion that has yet to be justified and demonstrated. It's not a non-sequitur on my part because I never said otherwise. Maybe it does share the same flaws. Maybe it doesn't. My point is it hasn't been tried.
