No, because the majority of people do not live in the US.

So the amount of influence is the same from the US and Russia and China.

We aren't as uninformed as this meme suggests about the concept. We know it has positives, but we also know the negatives, of which there are many.

What negatives? Do people turn evil, or do tools stop working, if tools are owned by a collective?

This question is being posed to centrists and conservatives, right?

Do you guys realize the world is larger than the memeverse and there are real people who lived under "socialist" governments?

Jesus H. Christ, all you need my dear is a holiday in Cambodia.

I may not want the USSR at all, but a large majority of Russians want it back: https://www.statista.com/chart/7322/25-years-soviet-union-collapse-ussr/

Now, a large part of this is also obviously due to wanting to be a part of a more powerful state, which the USSR was in comparison to the Russian Federation, but this point isn't great. I could make the same point and say that we should send pro-Capitalists to Somalia, it just doesn't work well logically.
