Bill, socialism did indeed do all of those things. Partly courtesy of the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. I think we all remember them. How many hundreds of millions of people now live in countries NOT occupied by the Red Army? Now live in countries that didn't even exist when they were part of that old, socialist Evil Empire? Stalin killed more of his own people than Hitler did. Then there's always China under Mao, North Korea, Cambodia, Cuba, Vietnam etc. We tend to refer to those places as Communist, but the Russians themselves never claimed that they actually achieved Communism. Just working from socialism in that direction.
