Any way I would like some examples of where socialism has failed aside from Hitler’s Germany and not examples of Communism.

Easy.
Sweden, Germany, Japan, Denmark.

Wait.

Hah the Che. Been to many a great shows there, even put on a few myself.

The greatest irony ever witnessed among that crowd was at an “International Noise Conspiracy” show. They’re a Swedish anti-capitalist band who had a fairly decent following here in the late 90’s, early 00’s. They even had a song called “Capitalism Stole My Virginity.” Great title, don’t you agree?

Anyway, I headed over to their merch booth to check out their selection, and of course like most bands they were selling t-shirts for $25. We all know t-shirts cost about $1.25 to make – $25 is quite a markup! But the irony was lost on them and most of their fans.

But wait, there’s more. They were selling lots of reading materials, and of course had the Communist Manifesto by Marx on paperback. For $30. Not kidding you. That combined with their clever song titles and lyrics had me convinced they were simply taking the piss, laughing all the way to their capitalist bank. Unfortunately they were totally serious.

Afx: The hot spot for the “intelligentsia” when I was in high school was the Bijou Theater in downtown Palo Alto (right down the road from Stanford University). It showed art house films and offered these great political and social discussions featuring Djarum smoking, Benetton clad, BMW and Benz driving bougie white kids discussing the evils of capitalism and how to “fight the power”.

I don’t think it dawned on any of them that they were the very power they were planning on fighting.

As Pogo so aptly put it: “We have met the enemy and he is us”.
