(6,390 posts)They are centralized command economies, also known as communism. Socialism is not Communism...to say they are is an old right wing talking point that should have died with the Soviet Union. I suggest you do some homework.
If you want to use countries that are socialist as an example, then I suggest you study up on the Scandinavian nations. And to call them poor nations is laughable. Now some would just call them "well regulated capitalism"...its the same difference. The government doesn't outright own the factors of production but they do effect control over them, so ownership is implied.
Top that off, communism has proven effective on a local scale, such as communal farms (a lot of Republican farmers don't realize they are practicing a form of communism). But when taken to a large scale, failed every time, of course, being under a dictatorship doesn't help matters. But no matter, centralized command economies to create a utopia in my view a pipe dream.
As for crop rotation....my point obviously went right over your head.
