What Are The Five Biggest Boldest Socialist Success Stories Since 1917?

I consider Bolivia one of the most hopelessly screwed up, poverty stricken countries in the continent.  And that's when the electric works. 

The situation in Bolivia has improved ever since Evo Morales took over as the president in 2006. The poverty rate is declining, and the poor are being given healthcare and education free of cost. He has permitted the usage of indigenous languages, and Catholicism has lost its dominance in deciding the government policies.

Bolivia was one of the few economies in the world, which actually grew during the global recession of 2008. There was a significant improvement in  rural infrastructure, with new roads and power and water lines being constructed. Exploitative agencies such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) were kicked out.

So according to you, education and healthcare should not be free? I disagree with that.

Education and medicare should not be considered as a business. That is what happening in the United States, where poor people are unable to afford quality education and healthcare.

Healthcare is free to poor people. It is even free to total strangers and illegals. The middle class is paying for it. The very rich can afford it. Socialism hates the entrepreneurial spirit and the middle class... Even more than the ultra rich class. The middle class gives hope to the poor. Too much hope to the poor kills class warfare. Without class warfare socialism ceases to exist.
