It's only uninformed and self-righteous teens and hipsters without degrees in economics who agree with a concept that has failed so hard for more than a century. No offence to any of you who believe in the idea. But the Soviet Union was a socialist state (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), and it collapsed under its own weight. Greece is a socialist state, and France is governed by socialists, and their both dang near bankrupt. Most of Europe follows the socialist ideology, and most of Europe is suffering from economic crisis. Socialism doesn't work, hence the reason Sanders won't win the election. Honestly, have you seen his supporters? Mostly hipsters from New York City and Vermont. I rest my case.
