To be fair, lacking context and clarity, it's a stupid question.

Define "socialist" and "worked".

[-]RickSanchez2(+1|0)

Maybe China worked?

[-]JasonCarswell2(+1|0)

China works on many levels. China fails on many levels. Many are both.

Scandinavian socialism succeeded better than most by many accounts.

Canada was doing okay, all things considered, until Trudeau the lesser really fucked things up, according to many.

Every nation is socialist to some degree.
All militaries are socialist programs, whether you want them or not.

Yeah a true socialist could argue at least but this PayPal sounding DEI hire can't do that.

She was indoctrinated instead of educated, that is why she is ignorant.

Or maybe she just sticks to the scripts she's given.

Like at least a parrot can be taught to say things. She can't even do that.

She said:

"These ideas, whether you call it socialism or not, they are very popular across the country. So he’s got to attach a new label to it, but I’m not concerned. We’re all going to be here fighting for the things that that we are for, and that we want to deliver for working people. ...The end goal is delivering for working people, universal health care, universal child care, housing investments, a housing bill. By the way, the most consequential in a generation that the president says is a yawn and is unimportant, it is so disrespectful of the things that are happening, and I think, frankly, that that’s why there’s so much support for many of these candidates across the country."

There's nothing wrong with any of that, and it's not in reference to a socialist country. The US sends Israel $10s of billions of BORROWED money while Israel and many other wealthy countries have "universal health care, universal child care, housing investments" &c. There is no reason a wealthy country like the US cannot have that. Her answer should have been that over 70 countries guarantee healthcare to all citizens. These are not - in practice - 'socialist' countries.

Jason Rantz is a disinformation-spreading, grifting, MAGA POS. Here's an example of him trying to blame Democrats for something Trump did when Trump wanted to cancel the midterm elections: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cnn-host-abby-phillip-crushes-guest-jason-rantz-trump-canceling-elections_n_6a203db0e4b032392fa7b86b
