I don't really have to: it's you that needs to prove that virtually every
single country on the planet is a failure.

I said that every country practices socialism to some degree or another.
You are stating that socialism doesn't work. Inasmuch as there are quite a
number of countries going on a stable fashion, I think that is adequate
proof (except to the pendantically argumentative whom have an axe to grind).

Why should I have to prove that? It doesn't matter if it is the
unsocialistic part that is carrying the socialistic part as long as the
country as a whole is working. If you feel it is important, be prepared to
show how it is. Further, I also said it doesn't matter if it is the *best*
method, just that the method is working. You are the one that made the
blanket statement that socialism doesn't work. At all. It's a religion
(because it doesn't work). I think since you are the one making the
outrageous claim, the burden of proof lies on you.
But don't feel like you have to, because I really was just gently teasing
you by pointing out how many political philosophies are subject to the same
claims of religious fevor. I don't see you actually denying my point about
Libertarianism. ;-)
