history i’d say is first a snitch and only later perhaps a bitch. The snitch is, the golden fleece that keeps Marxism alive even in the face of the fairly numerous crashed experiments (crashed experiments that’ve already added untold human misery to the debit side of the ledger, with zero prospect of accumulating sufficient assets to ever balance, even in the fullness of infinity), is “so far it has always been anti-democratic, thus not really ever tested”. Accepting en arguendo that premise, skipping over the giant “why izzat?” question, and assuming the USA is a perfect democratic socialist Marxist state (stipulating consent of the governed evidenced by regular open elections and no secret police breaking the Constitution and Bill of Rights), how ya gonna get re-elected with a crappy eceonomy, and how ya gonna have a good one without incentive to produce? How ya gonna have a classless society without upward mobility? What merit system will replace the capitalist merit system? Without these forces producing wealth, how ya gonna make the system care for the people?

You know, America is the best Marxism yet on the planet, already, as is –and would be even better at it without the constant attack of “marxists” (really, false marxists) who in degrading capitalism first destroy Marx’s fundamental principle: a proletariate that owns the means of production. USA does this via an incentive system (free to join or not) which creates upward wealth mobility with which workers can choose to buy in ownership incrementally via the public corporate organization of the means of production (property).

Now THAT’s a system, brother!
