This is true. Socialism has been refuted historically (it has never
worked), logically (it is self-contradictory)  and scientifically (it has
been proven by economists not to work). Yet, the masses insist on believing it.

Unfortunately, this is true of demagogues on both the left and the right.
Take a look at the United States today, for instance.  In fact, if you
replace "socialism" with "unbridled capitalism", you've pretty much
covered the whole spectrum (aside from us radical moderates sitting
in the middle, watching the chaos unfold on both sides).

I've tried socialism light, my parents in law have tried the real deal socialism, and thank you very much, we're all in agreement that we prefer unbridled capitalism every day of the week.
Only people who never grew up under authoritarian socialism, living in cuddly little western liberal socialist light democracies, could ever dream of wanting to live under socialism.
Take it from the people who tried, capitalism is vastly preferable.

But who knows? Maybe humanity will learn one day?
