True Socialism has never been put in practice. The problem is that because there are no checks and balances on the government in a socialist society, it's easy for it to turn into a dictatorship as with the USSR.

I guess the only way to avoid this is if the party running the gov't realize their obligation to the people there are leading and run the country for their citizens, not for themselves.

True socialism isn't that bad a concept, it just hasn't worked so far.

Just thought I'd throw that in there . . .
