> how should countries stay socialist? That’s a hard question, I don’t think there are any examples of long-lasting socialist societies of substantial size that have stayed particularly true to the purported ideology. If we think about social democracy instead, I believe you’d have to cultivate those values in the population, if they’re not there already, as well as a high level of social trust.
