as a practice, it will always fail. Mises destroyed socialism in his famous work from 1922:

“Without calculation, economic activity is impossible. Since under Socialism economic calculation is impossible, under Socialism there can be no economic activity in our sense of the word … All economic change, therefore, would involve operations the value of which could neither be predicted beforehand nor ascertained after they had taken place. Everything would be a leap in the dark. Socialism is the renunciation of rational economy.”

given your strong (and uninformed) feelings about socialism, it’s odd how you don’t know anything about it beyond what you hear Rush Limbaugh say.
