Before you embrace or reject socialism it's necessary you look at the history of socialism. It's no longer a theory. We've now witnessed more than a full century of applied socialism.

It started with the Bolshevik revolution that removed the Tsar and turned Russia into the Soviet Union.

Over the decades; China, Cambodia, Cuba, North Korea, all of Eastern Europe, turned communist or socialist.

The documented death toll under Communist rule has numbered in the hundreds of millions.
