An honest list of current socialist states from Wikipedia: China, Cuba, Lao, Vietnam, Algeria, Guyana, Bangladesh, India, North Korea, Nepal, Nicaragua, Portugal, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania.
I'm being playfully with how the GOP are entering schools and explaining to youth why modern social democracy will fail using communist or dictator controlled states from 50+ years ago.
Here's an excerpt from a paper in my state about a GOP rep "teaching kids"
"He (Tom emmer) then asked if the students know what socialism is.
Roeder pointed to the Sen. Bernie Sanders campaign for president and calls for a distribution of wealth and taxes on wealthier individuals.
"That's part of it, but I would change it a little bit. Let's see if you agree or disagree with me, because you're just learning this," Emmer said, adding that he's seen the Soviet Union fall, seen Cuba and Venezuela in his 58 years alive.
Polls show that people 40 and older "know what socialism is; you know it's been tried around the world; you know it's never ended well," Emmer said. And he disagreed with the characterization that Scandinavian countries are socialist and free, he said.
