Socialism is “out of fashion” now. The logic (what can be called that) is approximately this: socialism was in the USSR, and the state collapsed; This means socialism is not viable. The most educated remember National Socialism in the Reich and rejoice: they also lost! However, at the same time, they carefully do not remember the growing power of China (or they try to say that there is no socialism there). And if we talk about the past, it is also bashfully silent that the Reich defeated de facto all of Europe, waged war even in Africa - and was defeated only by the Soviet Union, another socialist state. After which the USSR opposed the entire “civilized world” for almost half a century. And now the Russian Federation lives off the “backlog” of the Soviet regime...So why is socialism being carefully “taken out of the discourse”? What is socialism really?
