Here you go willie a golden opportunity to display that brilliance.

A whole thread dedicated to the accomplishments of socialism.

When we are done I will try to create one for capitalism,

then you can post again about worthless opinions.

In the UK

Universal free healthcare.
Housing for all.
Education for all.
Public transport/road/rail networks.
Public water supply.
Public sewerage/waste network.
The telecoms grid.
The power grid.
Concorde.

Socialist policies didn't have much to do with the fluffyburger and suchlike things tho...

--------------------------

BTW, things like the SR71 and the original internet/chip industry were created (amongst other things) with Gov. handouts in the US
(Handouts are a backbone of Socialism)
Cash handouts (just like welfare, but with more zeros) for private sector industry.

Its a mixed economy, you only have to follow the paper trail.
----------------------------------------

UK people had had enough of living in sh*t conditions by the end of WW2.
Two world wars, then back to living in the same private sector crap?
No toilets in houses, no healthcare...No thx.
(The UK was almost totally private sector.)

Churchill LOST the immediate post war election, (got his ass kicked) and the Socialist Gov. went on to build up/invest in the infrastructure.

eekie the idea was to post actual accomplishments of a socialist enclave,

not imaginary ones.

maybe try again and get 1 out of 100 correct next time instead of zero.

Great achievements eekie. Hardly anything great about anything on this list. Not one thing is either innovative or contributed to furthering mankind in anyway shape or form.

Like socialized medicine eekie? Wonder how long the american consumer will bear the brunt of subsidizing world healthcare,

afterall last time the old country had a medical breakthrough of note was when?

hardly consider anything inefficient as a mark of greatness,

which of course encompasses all of your choices.

Building roads trains and any country's infrastructure is hardly a great socialist achievement,

But when you have zilch, gotta reach for soemthing,

your response was embarrasing even considering your standards.
