There have been many illustrations of the fact that collectivism (in all its forms, including communism, Fascism, socialism and progressivism) just does not work. The biggest most recent collapse was the former Soviet Union. In Cuba, one of the oldest still surviving communist-run nations (still being propped up by other socialist nations, such as Venezuela, who still has money he stole from the oil industry) is STILL beginning its collapse. It once exported the best cigars in the world. Today it IMPORTS cigars from elsewhere and is no longer revered for it’s top quality cigars.
It was once a top exporter of sugar and sugar cane. No more. It now IMPORTS sugar and sugar cane to feed the SHORTAGES they have of both, there. Only the top government officials and those they allow to remain rich can drive cars less than 50 years old. Fidel Castro himself (their former leader, soon to die) says, “Communism hasn’t worked for us.” Yet people still push collectivism (socialism) as an ideal, saying “:It has never been used in its purest form.” But it HAS. It has been used in its “purest form” every time it has been tried. Someone once said “Collectivism sounds good, and will work for a time, until they run out of people to loot.” (Just common sense)
