Socialism, in all its forms, has failed everywhere it's been tried.....a) because it goes against human nature and b) because ultimately it is unsustainable. And yet it seems that many still cling to the notion, in the mistaken belief that it just hasn't yet been implemented correctly. It's latest incarnation is a form of economic fascism. This too will fail.
You forgot "c": c) Because the US doesn't like it, and is prepared to use all its military and economic might to prevent it.
