      My country was on the path of the democratically instituted socialism thing. Well, it tried but the United States instigated, funded and armed a military coup and the military dictatorship that followed.

      Guess it’s better to have torture camps than gobbunism

          Ah, yes, the United States famously only interferes in fascist countries and not for benefit of plutocrats.

          Also, which demsoc countries are you talking about where the means of production are controlled by the working class?

              So every AES state is also Democratic Socialist too.

              Or do you mean Socialism established through liberal reform? That’s very rare, only really established in countries like Chile under Allende, before the US supported a coup to overthrow him.

                That’s underselling it. Before he was even president, the CIA kidnapped and killed the Commander in Chief of the Chilean army for refusing to send the army during his inauguration. There was political and economical warfare for fear of a “functioning socialist government” in South America. According to Nixon “the choice of government by the Chileans was unacceptable”.
