How every explanation of capitalism/economics/whatever has always gone. This is how it will be. Well, it's never been like that, but that's just because we never really did it/gov't/outside forces/whatever kept it from being. But this is how it will be.
The past is filled with examples that agree with my point of view. Let's disregard the theory-crafting that has been going on in here, because obviously that stuff was for intellectual curiosity. Socialism can be dismantled entirely with the terms set about by the socialist himself. There's no need for me to make grand suppositions about alternative reality to prove it.
The policies do not work. They don't reduce poverty, they increase it. And its not just a splash of socialism that all of your success stories countries have. The tax burdens hover around the 40-50% area in those countries, and that's not even considering all of the land the state owns and the currency manipulation they get away with. And the debt, let's not forget about the debt.
