most of that has happened in the last 35 years as the country and its people go to hell under your BS GOP garbage giveaway to the rich policies, brainwashed functional moron. Like cutting spending on everything, like low cost housing duh.... All to save your precious greedy idiot GOP rich, super dupe.So your just spout off with noting pertaining to what I asked ... the reason why they poor can’t afford rent is because of building codes Democrats have implemented in poor Democrat towns.. they have destroyed education to the extent they the voters are to stupid to protest the Jim crows laws they have implemented...National GOP giveaway to the rich policy, dumbass. 35 years of ruining the non-rich and the country, all to save the rich from paying their fair share. Democrat cities and states are not immune of course...So how come ordinary poor people used to live in Boston in private housing, but today in mostly left wing democrat Boston the poor can’t afford the rent? And they are so uneducated they aren’t even protesting?Socialism just means good democratic government at this point. Faire capitalism with good benefits and a good safety net. Most countries in Europe have parties called socialist that are like that. Social Democrats are the same.zzzzzzzz. Except in GOP dupe world.Those countries are communist, you brainwashed functional moron Cold War dinosaurThe correct answer is that Socialism doesn't work anywhere, because of the economic calculation problem, and the fact that taxes result in diminishing returns the higher you raise them. The government has no way to measure supply and demand curves, so it results in forced rationing, causing people to get little while the government pays too much, the cost then causes the government to raise taxes, but they end up getting less money the higher they raise it, causing the government to go further and further into debt. The fact that some overbloated governments do better than other overbloated governments is not a method for claiming Socialism works, especially given its colossal number of failures. The fact that some locations have yet to collapse DUE to Socialism does not mean it's working either, especially, again, due to the numerous times it has failed throughout history. Nothing works when centrally planned, it only creates a monopoly, and the fact that government is the holder of that monopoly only makes it worse than a private monopoly(Which only forms due to government interference).
I'd also like to point out that you CLAIM that those specific locations are Socialist, however having centralized Healthcare is a Socialist component, but that doesn't make a place Socialist, Social control of the means of production does. In fact, New Zealand is economically freer than America. Country Rankings: World & Global Economy Rankings on Economic Freedom
So are Canada and New Zealand. You're actually making an argument against Socialism.
With that, I'll give you a handy list of socialist failures:
Afghanistan(Twice), Albania(Three times), Angola, Benin, Bulgaria, Cambodia(Twice), Congo-Brazzaville, Czechoslovakia(twice), Ethiopia(twice), Germany, Hungary, North Korea, Mongolia, Mozambique, Poland, Romania, Somalia, Russia, North Vietnam, South Yemen, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Greece.
So, even if, hypothetically, you weren't being flat-out dishonest or ignorant, you'd be cherry-picking.
The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers. | Fact Left
As you can see everything about the middle class has gone to hell since 1982... If the GOP didn't have its BS giant propaganda machine and silly chumps like you, they wouldn't have anything.
