Been at it for a Century now, find ONE attempt you would like to hold up as a success. The best so far is stagnation, general despair and slow dissolution, the all too typical case is body counts that Hitler would be appalled by. Yet for some reason Hitler is the absolute unit standard of Evil while Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc. get a pass because "they meant well." No, time to make being a socialist / communist as disreputable as being a goosestepping Nazi larper because they are at least as dangerous. Yes, every system eventually fails because we still haven't solved the "Government" problem. But the others have successes to point to. Republics have many successes in the past, even if America is fading fast. Parliamentary systems have successes, there were centuries where being born in England was winning the lottery. Even full Monarchy has examples of peace, prosperity and good times. Imperial Rome would have been a great place to be in its good time. Lots of spots on China's timeline where it wouldn't have sucked to be alive. It would be like if Lennart and his descendants had been banging away for a Century and their stuff still sucked, but large numbers of hackers and big money still supported their project. Meanwhile sane people were like "Bruh! Thought about tossing the premise and trying something different?" Or like people who still run Windows after decades of failure and breathtaking security flaws, but they just know the next release is going to be stable and secure.
