Subject: Re: Quote of the Day

Artful Dodger:

> Where has socialism succeeded?

The capitalist version of socialism: Sweden, Norway, Austria and others

The communist version is more dubious due to the human rights record: People's Republic of China (the fastest growing economy in the world), Cuba (the best health care and educational system in the western hemisphere)

It all depends on how one defines success: is it wealth? higher standard of living? improvements in per capita income?

You still didn't answer my question: what does socialism have to do with the riots?
