where you from? america?
my friend , because one failed doesn't mean they all failure there must be something fishy behind the scene, look at China , singapore , russia and north korea (still communist) where communism rules , look(once using communism ideology) at their economy , china almost bypass america in term of economy. maybe one of them failed but most of them dont. hence , as american saying student debt as bad as global warming, worse than North Korea .
even DPRK still using communist ideology but look at them. they focused on something and will make it happen. we need someone who have passion and ambitions to achieve something. do the the talks. litlle example , trump. when he will build the wall?
