If a theory is dealing solely with humans (like socialism), and it fails because human behavior does not allow for it to work, then I feel there is something wrong with it.

If it doesn’t work because of people, wouldn’t the problem be with the people, and not with it? Regardless of my opinion, I do see your point.

Imagine how much better America would be if everyone had to release their slaves after 7 years.

I’m not even sure if that was sarcasm.

I also have no idea what you were talking about in your example of US, China and Vietnam.

I’m talking about how America backed the Nationalist Chinese government lead by … somethingsomething Chiang (I just don’t remember his name… >_____>) and backing the South Vietnamese government, both of which were corrupt governments. This led to the peasants of the north supported Communism in the favor that the government cared about them (Take that for what you want to, when you’re poor and your government advocates wide spread social programs, that government cares about you).
