19. Okay, let's see it.
Oh wait, communists and even moderate socialists are hunted and eradicated by the capitalist military-industrial complex, so we'll never see that happen. Not to mention that far left nations are shunned by the world community for rejecting globalization, so they have no nations to trade with really and are forced to survive as they can.

And who is going to vigorously regulate capital? The politicians they own? The voters they disenfranchise through disinformation and fraudulent elections. Capitalism can barely be regulated at all, let alone vigorously.

Thus far, no economic system has "worked" (considering that 1 billion people live on less than a dollar a day) and all trend towards totalitarian systems, including capitalism...which, despite green labels on products, has caused the ecological crisis through overconsumption and lack of attention to infrastructure.
